Edwards Amasa Park papers

The Edwards Amasa Park Papers, 1835-1899, document the professional work of Park. The collection is arranged according to the following categories: correspondence, sermons, lectures, notes on theological subjects, notes on readings, miscellaneous notes (fragments), student questions, newspaper clippings, and association items.

The correspondence is business and personal in nature, although much of the material relates to Park's work as editor of Bibliotheca Sacra. There is a name index to the correspondence available in the orignal finding aid for the collection, available at the repository.

The lecture notes are arranged according to order for a theological system prescribed by Park and described in document titled Syllabus of Lectures. This document is not written in Park's hand, but was almost certainly dictated by him. The document does contain revisions in Park's hand.

There is one document case of material which is arbitrarily assigned the category of association items. These items were found with unprocessed Park papers. The documents are not in his hand; and there is no readily apparent way to link them with other material in the collection. This group consists of a small number of letters and miscellaneous manuscripts.
