The papers of Robert Clark Kedzie consist primarily of materials relating to his position at Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) as a professor of chemistry from 1863 to his death in 1902. They include scrapbooks, lecture notes, correspondence, awards, and biographical material. The three scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings, the first pertaining to the Samuel Johnson case in 1889, the second concerning the removal of M.A.C. President Lewis G. Gorton in 1895, and the third consisting of a collection of undated clippings on scientific research. Kedzie's lectures and teaching notes are bound together in eight volumes and reflect the variety of subjects which he taught during his years at M.A.C. The papers also include a number of articles and addresses, many of which relate to agricultural chemistry, written by Kedzie between 1851 and 1901. Other items include correspondence and personal items such as Kedzie's honorary degree from the University of Michigan, his obituary and other items regarding his death, and an early draft of his biography written in the 1950s.
