1 Proctoriana Collection Doc 126-Doc 140, MSA 186 Ms Size A, B, C Introduction The Proctoriana Collection is research notes, photographs, and printed material on the town of Proctor, Vermont, collected by Otto T. Johnson. The collection was a bequest to the Vermont Historical Society from the Otto T. Johnson estate in Several issues of Marble Chips were added to the collection in 1993 from a donation by Sanborn Partridge. The Proctor Historical Society donated 25 more issues of Marble Chips for the period , in 1997 (MSA 186). The papers are housed in fifteen boxes and several oversize folders and occupy 15 linear feet of shelf space. The collection also includes a large number of glass plate negatives which have been separated for conservation reasons and are now stored in 9 boxes occupying 5.75 linear feet of shelf space. Biographical Sketch Otto Johnson was born in Proctor, Vermont, April 9, 1889, the son of Erik and Christina (Olson) Johnson. He graduated form Proctor High School in 1910 and from the University of Vermont in After working for General Electric in Schenectady, New York, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he was employed by the Bureau of Standards, and worked to earn a Master of Science and Master of Arts degree from George Washington University. He also completed the courses for a Ph.D. at American University but never completed his dissertation. He was required to return to Proctor when his father became ill and spent the rest of his life there, investing in stocks and securities, and collecting Proctor related materials and history. He died in January Scope and content note The Proctoriana Collection, created by Otto T. Johnson, is made up of research notes and publications Johnson used in the writing of a history of Proctor, Vermont. Although the book was incomplete at the time of his death he had organized his work into chapters and had written a partial draft, which is part of this collection (a photocopy of this work is also available in the VHS library X P942j). A large portion of the research notes are copies of legal documents such as land transfers, incorporations, and probate records. Johnson used these to describe the activities of early settlers and trace the ownership of key properties in town, especially the marble quarries. There are lists and descriptions of some of the first marble companies and general histories of the industry written by Johnson, Fred Patch, and J. E. Manley.

2 Proctoriana Collection 2 In addition to the marble industry Johnson researched the establishment of the town of Proctor in 1886, and the history of local institutions such as the school, the churches, and societies and clubs. He also collected information about events such as the Blizzard of 1888, the Flood of 1927, and the marble strike in Some prominent names in the collection are Peter Sutherland, Edgar L. Ormsbee, Fred Patch, and members of the Proctor family. Johnson was not only interested in writing the town s history but in preserving it, and made an effort to collect publications of Proctor organizations and businesses. The most extensive collection of publications is from the Vermont Marble Company and includes runs of the serial publications Vermont Marble, ; The Memory Stone, ; and Marble Chips, (and donated by the Proctor Historical Society); and copies of trade catalogs, monument designs, epitaphs and lettering; general public relations pamphlets, and some employee related material on worker safety and pension systems. Other runs of publications include the high school newspaper known as the Spotlight and the Sutherland, ; the yearbook, Proctorian, (some skips); the Union Church Yearbook, ; the town of Proctor annual reports, ; and a few years of the YMCA yearbook, Johnson also made an effort to collect copies of periodicals that included Proctorrelated articles. A valuable source of Johnson s information on local events was the newspaper and this collection includes many references to area newspapers. There are lists of articles from several newspapers and transcripts of many articles. There are also scrapbooks, the first of which covers the years ca , and then one for each year, Other scrapbooks cover scattered years and there are many loose newspaper clippings. There is an extensive collection images of Proctor including negatives, glass plate negatives, and prints. The glass plate negatives have been removed to the VHS glass plate negative collection and can be found in FGA 48-49, and FGB Organization The papers have been arranged in series to match Otto Johnson s chapter headings in his book, The History of Proctor, plus series for miscellaneous notes that do not fit easily in any one chapter, the typescript draft of the book, scrapbooks, serials and publications, and photographs. The series headings are: 1. Pioneer Days 2. The Sutherlands 3. Some Other Early Settlers 4.
