The Edward Everett papers consist of the correspondence, letterbooks,

correspondence are letters collected by Everett of early American statesmen
George Washington, James Madison, John Adams, and many others, as well as
letters and other material relating to Everett's studies in Europe and his
careers as a Harvard professor, Massachusetts senator and governor, and orator.
Included are diaries kept by Everett while studying and traveling in Europe,
1815-1819, and almost daily in Cambridge, Mass., Washington, D.C., and other
homes, 1825-1865, as well as manuscript drafts of his speeches and articles,
sermons, newspaper clippings, and printed works. The collection also contains
the diaries and other papers of two of his daughters, Anne Gorham Everett
(1823-1843) and Charlotte Everett Wise (1825-1879).
Other family members represented in the collection are: Everett's wife
Charlotte Gray Brooks Everett, his brother Alexander Hill Everett, his
father-in-law Peter Chardon Brooks, his brother-in-law Charles Francis Adams,
and his son-in-law Henry A. Wise. Other individuals represented include: Daniel
Webster, Robert C. Winthrop, John Quincy Adams, and many others.
The bulk of the Edward Everett papers was given to the Massachusetts
Historical Society (MHS) in 1930, and their arrangement was largely maintained
for the present edition. However, a few additional items have been incorporated
into the collection: Everett items received after 1930, microfilmed following
Vol. 279; a few typewritten copies of Everett materials from other MHS
collections, inserted chronologically into his general correspondence,
including some documents on Everett at Gettysburg in 1863 on Reel 18; and a
substantial number of Edward Everett's diaries and letterbooks, which had been
microfilmed previously.
The first 38 volumes of this collection have been disbound and rehoused in
document boxes.
Gift of Grenville Norcross, 1914; Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, 1920, 1930s; and
Mrs. John Downes, 1924.

edition, the papers of Everett's daughters Anne Gorham Everett and Charlotte
Everett Wise (Vol. 1-19) have not been microfilmed. Use the call number Ms.
