Where are Edwards manuscripts?
• The great majority of his extant manuscripts are in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University (General Manuscripts 151). These manuscripts were donated to Yale in 1901 by Edwards descendants. Since that time, other Edwards manuscripts that have come to light have been purchased, for example, the “Farewell Sermon.” A smaller but nonetheless significant collection, consisting mostly of Edwards’ early writings and family letters, is at Andover Newton Theological Seminary’s Franklin Trask Library. A small number of manuscripts, mostly letters, are scattered in repositories throughout the United States and Great Britain.
