New Exhibit in Reading Room

An exhibit on Immigration and the American Baptist response throughout two centuries has been developed by our archivist, Jill Sweetapple.  Since the early 1800’s, immigrants have been alternately welcomed and refused.  American Baptists have been involved in welcoming and resettlement, helping newcomers to fit into the culture of the United States.  The AB Home Mission Societies’ collection has many records of such activities.  ABHS holds and cares for the ABHMS collections.
