Horatio Southgate papers

 Collection
Call Number: MS 77
Scope and Contents

The Horatio Southgate Papers consist of six linear feet of sermons, miscellaneous writings, and correspondence. The sermons are arranged and listed only by date (of composition rather than delivery when both are available), but there is a partial listing by subject, title, and date and place of delivery in the Cameron article already cited. The miscellaneous writings consist mainly of translation of Middle Eastern Christian religious texts. The correspondence consists mainly of Cameron's photostats and transcriptions of Southgate letters in other manuscript repositories and in private hands. These letters span his career, 1834 to 1891, but the bulk of them fall in the 1840s and 1850s. Many refer to his mission work in Turkey in the 1840s. The volume of photostats also contains a few of Southgate's printed sermons.

The Horatio Southgate Papers (formerly called the Berkeley-Southgate Papers) were placed in Yale University Library in 1938 on perpetual loan from the Berkeley Divinity School. They were given to the Divinity School by Hutchinson Southgate, the bishop's son, in 1897.
