West, Edward Nason. Papers

21 cu.ft. (56 boxes)

This extensive collection documents three activities that Edward West held as central throughout his life: (1) his long career as Canon Sacrist, Sub-Dean, and Master of Ceremonies at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, (2) his service as Chaplain to the United States National Guard, and (3) his devotion to liturgy and the church’s observance of the ceremonial, including many artistic achievements in the areas of heraldry and architectural motif. The archive contains sermons, addresses, original artwork, correspondence, photographs, audio recordings, news clippings, and awards and honoraria from the period 1930-1990 with some collected works as early as 1903 and as late as 1992.
