Southern Presbyterian History
This post comes from Genealib listserv:
The Special Collections and Archives department of Campbell Library at Columbia Theological Seminary is pleased to announce the launch of a new archives online catalog providing public access to records of archival holdings relating to Southern Presbyterian history. In 2007 the seminary received records of over 800 congregations, 500 individuals and 80 presbyteries which were formerly located at the Presbyterian Historical Society in Montreat, NC. The collections include primarily materials from the Southern Stream of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and its predecessor bodies. The Southern Stream is identified as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and Virginia.
An introductory page containing explanations of what is included in the archives catalog is available at this address http://www.ctsnet.edu/Library/ArchivesOnlineCatalog.aspx and provides a direct link to the search page. At present the archives online catalog contains records for about half of the materials transferred from Montreat and additional records are being added regularly. Legacy finding aids are attached to the catalog records when available. Books and periodicals are not included, but can be searched through the library's online catalog at http://web2.ctsnet.edu/.
