Custodial history
The earlier material in the fonds was donated to the library by Dr. Johnston in 1971. In 1990, more material was transferred to the Hamilton Public Library upon request by Mr. Brian Henley, Head of the Special Collections Department (precursor to Local History & Archives), to the Executive Director of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, L. Lee Kirby, who agreed to the transfer of materials to the library through correspondence dated July 27, 1990.
