Manuscripts
A collection which consists of approximately 5,450 items and covers the years 1865 to 1985; the collection contains correspondence covering a variety of topics including scholarly research, speaking engagements, writing assignments, trustee and university business, and responses to Cleland's publications. Correspondents in the collection include, among others: George A. Brakeley, Arthur G. Coons, Glenn S. Dumke, Max Farrand, Harold Holmes Helm, MacMillan Company, H. W. O'Melveny, Princeton University Press, Andrew F. Rolle, Eleanor W. Towles, and Louis B. Wright. The writings comprise drafts and notes for books, book reviews, and lectures on California and the Southwest including, among other titles: "The Cattle on a Thousand Hills" (second edition), "From Wilderness to Empire," "California in Our Time," "A Mormon Chronicle: The Diaries of John D. Lee," and "This Reckless Breed of Men." The research files include material on the fur trade, California, Mexico, and the controversial social insurance schemes proposed by the Retirement Life Payment Association during the Great Depression. The source material about Mexico covers geography, economics, social life, and indigenous peoples from the Spanish conquest until the early twentieth century, including data files and interview reports gathered for the Doheny Foundation. The ephemera consists mainly of biographical material about Cleland, six photographs, various clippings on the Southwest, and offprints or printed material by Cleland and his peers. The research notes are handwritten and typed on one half sheets sorted into folders by topic on the history of the West and for "The Cattle on a Thousand Hills" material. Note cards have biographical citations for research materials. There is a cassette tape and phonograph record of a radio interview with Robert Glass Cleland for the "Meet the Author" program and a phonograph record of a speech by James Blaisdell.
