| title | Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809) Collection, circa 1784–1960 (A0897) |
| repository | Missouri Historical Society Archives |
| description | The Meriwether Lewis Collection is an artificial, or subject-based, collection gathered to record the Lewis and Clark Expedition. During the re-processing of the Meriwether Lewis Collection in 1999, several items were removed from the collection, and returned to the archival collection in which they originally belonged. (Please consult the separation record at the end of this finding aid.) The collection is arranged in three series: Original Documents Series, Reproductions/Clippings Series, and Corps of Discovery Series. Biographical Sketch Meriwether Lewis was born August 18, 1774, to William and Lucy Meriwether Lewis in Albemarle County, Virginia. William died when Meriwether was five years old and Lucy remarried and moved to Georgia. Lewis received most of his formal education in Virginia and by age eighteen was in charge of Locust Hill, the family plantation in Albemarle County. |

| acquisition information | Many of the documents came from Dr. Meriwether Lewis Anderson in 1936 but the provenance of others items is uncertain. Also in 1936, Charles Gilmer Gray donated the letter of Meriwether Lewis to Dr. John Thornton Gilmer, dated 18 June 1801. The items in the Corps of Discovery Series appear to have been gathered from a variety of sources and were probably part of the Lewis & Clark Papers that were divided into the Meriwether Lewis Papers and the William Clark Papers sometime between 1950 and 1980. |
