Edward and Orra White Hitchcock Papers

Title: Edward and Orra White Hitchcock Papers

The Edward and Orra White Hitchcock Papers contain correspondence, drawings, legal documents, sermons, drafts of published and unpublished works, printed articles, autographs, artwork, and images relating to the professional activities and some of the personal life of Edward Hitchcock, Orra White Hitchcock, and their family. The material spans the years 1804-1910, with the bulk of the material falling into the period 1820-1864. Edward Hitchcock's work as a minister and nationally noted geologist is well documented in the papers. Orra White Hitchcock is less thoroughly represented. The collection contains the diaries she kept when she accompanied her husband on their European trips, along with her ad hoc sketches.

American and Foreign Christian Union. Records, 1851-1884.

Title: Records, 1851-1884.

The records consist of correspondence, missionary reports, financial reports, pamphlets, and newspaper clippings. They primarily represent the central office of Corresponding Secretary and Assistant Treasurer and reflect both the domestic and foreign enterprises of the Union from 1862 to 1884. The records reflect most thoroughly the Union's domestic missions in Cincinnati and Louisville; the foreign missions in Italy, Mexico, and Chile, as well as the many and varied evangelical efforts in France; the reorganization of 1884; and the relationship of the AFCU with individual denominations and with other interdenominational benevolent societies.

Earle, Pliny, 1809-1892. Papers, c. 1819-1892.

Title: Papers, c. 1819-1892.

The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence to Earle from his colleagues, dealing with issues pertinent to their interests in the field of mental illness. There are letters about patients, case notes, and drafts for reports. There are also letters from psychiatrists in Europe and a few items of personal correspondence from members of his family. One of his innovations in the treatment of patients was to offer lectures to them on various literary and cultural topics. Included in this collection are a number of those lectures as well as copies of some of his articles. There are twenty-eight diaries, 1835-1892, in which Earle wrote brief daily entries, accounts, addresses, and genealogical notes. There are also several volumes of medical and travel notebooks and one octavo volume of copies of letters to his family written from Europe, Cuba, and Washington, D.C., 1837-1864. Earle worked on the genealogy of his family for over fifty years and there are several folders of notes and correspondence gathered in preparation for his book. There is also some biographical material on Earle by Franklin Benjamin Sanborn (1831-1917) who wrote the "official" biography of him. At the beginning of the collection there are two manuscripts pertaining to Earle's father and his development of carding machines for the textile industry. One of the items is a letter, April 1804, from Eleazar Smith ( - ) of Walpole, Mass., describing improvements for what appears to be a carding machine.
