Rare Book Collection Being Brought To Light

McAfee School of Theology student Traveous Adkins is working with ABHS’s rare book collection.  The goal is to put our books in an on-line catalog which can be accessed by researchers.  These books date from the early 1600s, and deal with religious matters primarily.  Church leaders spoke out on such issues as baptism, church membership and the evils of the day.  These books are considered rare because they are old, but also because there may be only one or two other copies in this country.  This work is part of  our campaign, At Your Fingertips, which is seeking donations with the goal to digitize parts of our collection.
