The portion of Albert Schwenger's collection housed at Queen's University Archives is divided into two manuscript series. The first series consists of documents related to the Milne and MacKay families. The papers originate with Captain William Milne who settled in Ancaster where his daughter Anna Maria married into the MacKay family in the 1820's. His correspondence comments of trade conditions, relations in the native community after the Treaty of Greenville and European wars. Of particular note is a letter of introduction for Captain Milne written in Turkish from 1799. The second series consists of unrelated historical documents primarily from the Niagara area, but includes one British document.
Fonds consist of both First and Second Class examination papers for students administered by the County of Lennox & Addington Board of Public Instruction.
