Robert L. White (c. 1949 – October 11, 2003) was a collector of Kennedyiana and other presidential memorabilia.[1] Many of his John F. Kennedy relics were acquired from Kennedy's secretary Evelyn Lincoln.[1] White also collected skulls and scalps, and had a business card that read "Robert L. White, Baltimore's #1 Head Hunter".[2] He had about 40 in his collection at the time of his death, including the skull of William Wirt.[3]
