Perhaps you're looking for DRIBBLE?

  http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_dribbl.htm

Slime also saves things into ~/.slime-history.eld

However, I at least find slime-scratch a better fit for things I might
want to refer to later:

  (setq slime-scratch-file (expand-file-name "~/.slime-scratch.lisp"))

makes your slime-scratch buffer persistent.
