Description: 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.

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.
