Scope and Contents

This subseries is comprised of manuscripts, typescripts, research material, illustrations, correspondence and other material documenting several published and unpublished books by Kimball.

Like his articles and book reviews, most of Kimball's books pertain to French and early American architectural topics, specifically Colonial and Early Republica domestic architecture in America, and Rococo interior decoration in France. Material relating to Kimball's books on Thomas Jefferson and Samuel McIntire are processed in those individual subseries.
