I. Personal Papers,, 1857-1893,, bulk: (bulk 1857-1893)

The Theodore Sandford Doolittle papers consist of three boxes. Box 1 is an assortment of items, including clippings of lecture notices and miscellaneous articles (1875-1889), a printed syllabus for "Lectures on Architecture;" correspondence, obituaries, clippings and related letters, and portrait photographs of the adult Doolittle at various ages. Boxes 2 and 3 contain various series of works written by Doolittle, including clippings of editorials from the weekly newspaper Christian at Work (1887-1893). There are also manuscript copies of A Historical Sketch of Rutgers College, and numerous handwritten sermons (1868-1893).

There are several items apparently missing from the collection, including materials referred to by William F. Doolittle in the "Materials for General Catalogue" (Box 1, File 3), such as the European letters, the encyclopedia entries, and others. A large part of the collection is newspaper clippings, most of which are aged and becoming brittle. The bulk of the clippings are from Christian at Work, 1866-1894, which was published and edited by J. N. Hallock, 39 & 41 Park Row, Times Building, New York. That paper was continued by Christian Work 1895-1902, which merged with the Evangelist to form Christian Work and Evangelist 1903-1914, and then absorbed the New York Observer, finally becoming Christian Work again, for 1915-1925. No other paper or microform copies are reported.
