Series Colt Memorial School
When Theodora DeWolf Colt died in 1901, her son Samuel decided to erect a monument suitable to her memory in the town of Bristol. Samuel Colt decided that the appropriate tribute was a new high school for the town . The school was completed in 1908 at a cost of $ 300,000 and deeded to Bristol. It was at the time, and presumably still is, the only school in the country constructed of bronze and Italian marble. This series documents the construction of the Colt Memorial School. Included is extensive correspondence between Merton Cheeseman, Colt's personal secretary, and the architects and contractors, Cooper and Bailey of Boston and Norcross Brothers respectively. Through Cheeseman, Colt kept a close eye on the construction and passed on a number of suggestions which were incorporated into the final plans. Included in the series are blueprints, a photogravure of the completed school showing Linden Place in the background, bids of unsuccessful contractors and architects, and brochures and catalogues from a variety of suppliers of school equipment and furnishings. The catalogues and brochures depict school furnishings and equipment that were considered state of the art for the time. The materials in this series are arranged alphabetically by subject, type of record, or name and chronologically by date within folders. Included with this series are photographs of the interior of Colt Memorial School taken May 2001 by David Rooney. These photographs are not part of the Colt Family Papers, but they show the extraordinary attention to detail and aesthetic considerations taken by Colt and the architects in constructing this memorial to Theodora Colt 		1904-1907
Series Photographs
This Series consists of hundreds of photographs of several generations of the Colt family, photographs of their friends and acquaintances, and places in the United States and Europe they visited. There are various types and formats of photographs represented, including stereoscopic slides, tintypes, negatives and prints. The prints vary in size from small pocket-size photos to large framed portrait-style photos. Some are in photo albums, but the bulk of the photographs are loose. The photographs have been divided into five sub-series as follows: Family/Family Related, People: Non-Family, People: Unidentified, Places and Miscellaneous. The Family/Family Related sub-series contains photographs of several generations of the Colt family, and places associated with the family such as Camp Colt in Maine, Colt Farm, Colt Memorial School and Linden Place in Bristol. Included are photographs of Samuel P Colt, his wife Elizabeth Bullock Colt, his sons, Roswell and Russell Colt, his brother LeBaron Bradford Colt, and his mother Theodora DeWolf Colt. Also included are photographs of Samuel P Colt's daughters-in-law, stage actress Ethel Barrymore and Gwendolyn M. Gray (first and 2nd wives of Russell Colt), grandchildren John Drew Colt, Samuel Barrymore Colt, and Ethel Colt Miglietta, and great-grandson, John Drew Miglietta. The People: Non-Family, sub-series consists of photographs of people who are not related to the Colt family but whose identity is known. Included are photographs of William Abbott, D.G. Barnes, Frances Bernfor, Nellie Bradley, Marcella Kenay, and Allen McLean. Also included in this sub-series are a number of photographs of people identified only by a first name such as "Billy, "Louise," and "Ted." The People: Unidentified, sub-series consists of photographs of people whose identity and relationship to the Colt Family is unknown. These photographs have been divided into the broad categories of Children, Females, Males, Male and Female Couples, Males and Females in Groups and Photo Albums of Personages and Friends. The Places sub-series consists of photographs of miscellaneous places, including the Anawan Club in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, street views of Bristol, Rhode Island, stereoscopic photographs of European landmarks, and a souvenir photo album of the vacation resort of Indian Harbor. The Miscellaneous sub-series consists of photographs which do not fit into any of the above categories Included are photographs of works of art, sculpture and statutory, a funeral, and industrial machinery. The photographs in each sub-series are arranged alphabetically by name or the subject of the photograph. Oversize photographs are grouped together at the end of the series 		1830?-1953
Series Printed materials
The Colt Family Papers contained many books, pamphlets, and other printed material. Many of these books were accessioned into the holdings of Distinction Collections, in particular, a series of pamphlets and small magazines published by the Roycroft Press, a noteworthy turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts movement press which had published Theodora DeWolf Colt's Poems in 1914. Of interest is a small collection of legal briefs which were collected by Samuel Pomeroy or LeBaron Colt. The published material that remains is listed in this series divided by type of publication. They consist mainly of student books, legal works, annual reports, maps, and speeches. They give some indication of topics of interest to the Colt family. LeBaron B. Colt's published speeches are contained in Series VI, LeBaron Bradford Colt. Series XXIV, Graphic Works, also contains some published items, mostly short inspirational and religious books. The Colt Family Papers also contains a collection of newspaper clippings, most of them from the beginning of the twentieth century when Samuel P. Colt was planning to run for the U. S. Senate. See also Series XX, U.S. Senate Candidacy. The newspapers are in brittle condition and have been photocopied to preserve them. The photocopies were then organized into subjects. If the clippings were from the Providence Journal or (Providence) Evening Journal, the original clippings were discarded after they were photocopied. If they were from another paper, they were photocopied and then retained in no particular order in a document box. The newspaper clippings are found at the end of this series. The following series is arranged into sub-series by type of publication and then alphabetically within subject. Each entry lists the title of the publication, its place of publication, its publisher, and the number of pages 		1832-1913
