Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This devised collection has been created from unprocessed materials associated with Rix Robinson to document this Greater Grand Rapids area and Michigan pioneer, and to document his home and trading post in Ada, Michigan.

The Rix Robinson site dig research was left abandoned in a house and brought to the library by a later tenant. The actual collector of this historical research is unknown, but may have been one of the student researchers depicted in some photographs included with this material. Reference images of Rix Robinson's home in Ada, as well as the building said to be his trading post there, opposite the Ada Cemetery, are included in this series, as well as other general reference articles in the collection.

At the time of processing other material associated with Rix Robinson exists in other processed and unprocessed collections.
