The Reynolds Family Papers were created by the Reynolds family of North Carolina and Virginia, primarily tobacco baron R.J. Reynolds and his wife Katharine Smith Reynolds. Correspondence, financial, and legal records document the creation and early years of the Reynolds’s 1,000-acre estate and working farm, Reynolda, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Other subjects of note are the Reynolds family’s philanthropic and social activities and the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
