Acquisition:
The Papers of the Rev. Dr. Donald J. MacNair were received as direct donations
from Dr. MacNair himself, delivered to the PCA Historical Center over a
period from 1994 – 1999.
Processing: Some processing was completed by Jerry
Kornegay prior to his leaving the PCA Historical Center in 1998. The bulk
of the processing was completed by Wayne Sparkman in 2001, soon after the
Center had moved into its new facility in the renovated Buswell Library,
along with all HTML formatting.
