Cleveland is remembered as a preeminent twentieth-century evangelist, preacher, civil rights activist, mentor, and leader in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He did evangelism and preaching in over 70 countries and six continents over a period of more than 60 years. Thousands of people trace their conversion to the influence of this man.

In November 2007 Edward Earl Cleveland donated to the Center for Adventist Research his personal papers consisting of nearly 2,000 sermons, manuscripts, clippings, photographs, audio and visual recordings, artifacts and books. They are contained in 44 archival boxes and are described in the personal papers register. At the time of the donation, Cleveland also was interviewed and reflected on his life and ministry. The 40-minute interview is available through the Center.

44 archival boxes of materials contain the collection. They include personal papers with several thousand sermon manuscripts, clippings, and manuscripts. There are many artifacts and particularly dozens of awards he received over the years. The collection also has photographs and many of the books that were in his personal library. There are also audiovisual materials that were produced over the years.
