Overview and metadata sections
The Grover Cleveland Collection consists of collected research materials regarding Grover Cleveland, his life in Princeton, and his relation to the University. The papers document a variety of topics both broad in nature (his work as a Trustee) and highly specific (a Venezualan table he received as a gift). Also in the collection are letters sent to the University by early researchers inquiring about Cleveland, facsimiles of speeches, and files on other biographical topics such as Cleveland's birthplace, gravesite, and family members.
Several sets of documents within the collection are photostatic copies of originals, however there is generally little or no indication as to where the originals are located.
The origin of this collection is unclear. At some point the collection became part of the Princetoniana Collection and entered the University Archives. Many of the documents, such as the inquiries, are directed to University Secretary Varnum Lansing Collins, and it is likely that he was responsible for the foundation of the collection. Other documents however, particularly those in the "clippings" and "gravesite" files appear to have been added to the collection at a later time by Archives staff.
This collection was processed by Dan Brennan in 2009. Finding aid written by Dan Brennan in 2009.
