William Kelly, architect, antiquarian: papers This collection comprises sketchbooks, photographs, correspondence and a single set of lecture notes. The sketchbooks cover locations including Britain and tours of Europe undertaken by the architects. The majority of the subject matter relates to architecture and includes sketches of buildings, decorative motifs, technical drawings which include measurements, architectural details such as pediments and capitals. In addition, the sketchbooks include landscapes and portraiture. William Kelly appears to have re-used a number of the sketchbooks, which originally belonged to Charles Carmichael, John Smith and William Smith. This reworking of earlier material makes attribution of certain sketchbooks unclear. The series of photographs, maintained in their original arrangement, which is presumed to be of Kelly's own organisation. The photographs appear to be Kelly's research photographs of buildings throughout the UK. The arrangement is mainly by building location; however, there is a small volume, which is arranged by type such as leadwork. The authorship of the photographs is not always clear, but the collection includes a large volume of George Washington Wilson and Co. images. The small amount of correspondence relates to Kinnairdy Castle, the main correspondent of which is Sir Thomas Innes. 1805-1944
