At Your Fingertips 
The “At Your Fingertips” campaign provided seed money to help us move from the 17th century to the 21st century!
Many of the documents created today that will be part of the archives tomorrow are born digital. Digital items, including documents, emails, and web pages, require different care than that used to preserve physical items. Additionally, digitizing older manuscripts and audio-visual materials will make hard-copy documents accessible to more people.
Your membership and donations support ongoing work to put Baptist history at your fingertips!

Send us copies of programs, history booklets, and other documentation of your celebration to make sure your church is represented in the ABHS archives.
