Collection Overview:
The old listing of our collections remains here].
The list below now includes some of our "collections of miscellany."--materials gathered by the staff of the Historical Center, organized around a given individual or organization. Collections of miscellany might also be considered "synthetic" collections, since they are gathered by someone other than the creator of the materials in view. Typically these collections are built around published works, but often include rare and even unique items as well. The addition of these collections to the Center's holdings further enriches the on-site resources available for researchers, and also serves to fill out the overall picture of American Presbyterian history.
Seven Divisions of the Historical Center's Work:
-
- Organizational Records
- Manuscript Collections
- Collections of Miscellany
- Research Library
-
- Congregational Histories
- Oral History Interviews and Biographical Data
- Publications
