Baptist Historians and Those Musty, Dusty Archives

Filed under: Campus, Faith and History — jerry @ 2:51 pm

Alan Lefever and Naomi Taplin from the Texas Baptist Historical Collection were on campus this week to examine the deeper mysteries of . . . our archives in the Jarrett Library! The diagnosis was actually pretty good, and the prognosis matched: ETBU has a good start on an archive, and its reorganization under the library staff led by Cynthia Peterson will make it much more useful. With the ETBU centennial coming in 2012, getting the old records in order is important. Also important: they helped us, reminded us, that faculty, students, librarians, staff, and administrators all have a part in preserving the archival remnants of past and present, and that in itself will enhance the effectiveness of our educational programs.
