All the contents of this site were scattered in over a dozen packed boxes and file folders that were found in closets and attics. They represent 3 generations of storing and archiving by Ray's sister Genevieve, his niece Frances and grandniece Bette Mae (my mother).
Some of the copy is from "Green Mountain Boys of Summer" edited by Tom Simon for which many interviews were made by the family for the publication. I highly recommend this book if you are a fan of Vermont, its social history and the history of baseball.
This is a "catch all" site for other digital images of Ray and the Boston Americans (Red Sox) from 1910-1915. Ray Collins Digital Archive
