Elisha Lord Cleaveland papers, 1834-1866 (inclusive).

The papers deal chiefly with his ministry in the Third Congregational Church of New Haven and include diaries, account books, clippings, lecture notes, and sermons. The 1,300 sermons make up three-fourths of the papers. His diaries (1850-1864) are largely a record of his ministerial duties, but also contain an account of his brother's death (December, 1863) and of his visits to a criminal condemned to be executed (July, 1846). The lecture notes were apparently intended for use at the Andover Theological Seminary.
