http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56037110

The collection includes personal, church, and family papers documenting London's relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, and his interest in research and preservation of church history and family history. Correspondence documents family life, including the experiences of his son, Alexander Claypoole London, at boarding school during the 1960s, and later in the Navy Hospital Corps during the Vietnam War; family history and church history research; the response to publication of London's book on Bishop Joseph B. Cheshire; the experiences of friends serving in the South Pacific during World War II; friendships that grew from common interests in collecting Caruso recordings and bird watching; and the North Caroliniana Society Award that London received in 1991. There is a small amount of material relating to library administration matters. Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina materials document London's efforts to research and preserve the history of the Diocese and the Chapel of the Cross. London family papers chiefly consist of 18th- and 19th-century correspondence, indentures, deeds, and other papers of John R. London, Henry Adolphus London, William Lord London, and other family members. Included are deeds transferring ownership of slaves and land, and letters with news of family, business, and political affairs of various family members, chiefly in Chatham County, N.C. Civil War materials include letters from William Lord London regarding camp life and news at home and an 1863 muster roll for the 32nd North Carolina Regiment. Letters of Frank Marsden London to his parents document his art school experience and life in Brooklyn, N.Y. Other materials include miscellaneous writings, a memorial, and genealogical materials. The Addition of March 2005 includes correspondence, photographs, clippings, and other materials related to Lawrence Foushee London and his wife Emily Dewey Mitchell London; church-related materials; items related to genealogical research by London about the London family and extended relations, including the Foushee, Haughton, Hill, Mauger, Mabson, and Stewart families; correspondence, genealogical and biographical research, scrapbooks, photographs, and other materials related to Emily Dewey Mitchell London's extended relations, including her mother Adeline Dewey Claypoole Bernard, her stepfather William S.
