The Tufts Kinsmen Associations does not hold any collections of material items or genealogical materials. In 2018 the Association donated the collection of Herbert Adams, author of Tufts Kinsmen, to Tufts University Digital Collections and Archives. It contains a myriad of material from letters and books to draft genealogies and pictures.

The Association can assist persons with collections of either genealogical material references or historical items of value to Tufts family research. The Association does accept financial donations to keep our association operating and continue our mission (link to about page with mission statement). We also may accept donations of genealogically important materials on a case by case basis. Please contact us (link) if you wish to donate to our organization.

There are also other places where Tufts family items are held. The Tufts Archives at the Given Library in Pinehurst North Carolina has an extensive collection. Please check the list below for additional holdings and descriptions. There is also a list of libraries which hold the book Tufts Kinsmen. Please check this page often as it will be updated regularly and report any links which do not work. We also hope to add a list of digital collections available online relative to Tufts families or collections.
