- catalog abstract "The Collins papers consis of three main parts: letters to Collins; photographs, negatives and lantern slides made by Collins; and smaller items, mostly pertaining to his field trips. The letters are from about 240 correspondents, and date from 1884-1925 with most letters earlier than 1920. By and large they could be described as general botanical correspondence. The photographic materials consist of snapshots, labeled negatives, and lantern slides, all dating from about 1900-1935. The subjects of the photos include: landscapes and cityscapes, field expeditions and excursions, family and friends and their homes, closeups of individual plants and trees. The smaller items include a small notebook containing notes on geography and plants from the 1906 trip to the Gaspé, reports and collection labels related to the 1923 trip to the Gaspé, a plaster model of Mt.

- catalog description "James Franklin Collins worked as a silversmith from 1897-1899. During this time he began studying botany with W.W. Bailey, which led to his becoming part-time curator of the Brown University Herbarium starting in 1894. Collins switched to botany as a full-time career when he began teaching at Brown in 1899. From 1906-1911 he was head of the botany department at Brown. His interests shifted toward forest pathology, and he worked as a pathologist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Brown, from 1911-1933. His interests as a pathologist included tree surgery and chestnut blight. Collins was involved in a number of collecting trips with M.L. Fernald, particularly in the Gaspé Peninsula of Québec. According to Fernald, Collins concentrated on collecting bryophytes and hoped to devote more time to the study of mosses after his retirement; he was prevented from doing so by ill-health.".
