If you missed this month's Brown Bag Lunch event with David Hall, author of A Reforming People: Puritanism and the Transformation of Public Life in New England, you can still see what drew almost thirty people into our conference room on a winter's day.
We filmed the lecture portion, and have now collected it into a playlist on our YouTube channel.
UPDATE: The YouTube playlist now includes a 4-part interview with David Hall by Peggy Bendroth.
We are pleased to announce a new addition to our collection. The records of the Indiana-Kentucky Conference (Christian Church [Denomination]) have been processed and are now available to researchers. These records document four regional conferences of the Christian Church in Indiana from 1857 to 1947.
We're happy to announce that we're planning a slew of events for the coming year, from entertaining discussions to educational workshops and more.
First up is the return of our Brown Bag Lunch lecture series. One Wednesday each month, we'll be hosting an informative guest to make your lunchtime a little different. Take a peek at the blurbs on the homepage, or head over to our Program & Workshop Schedule for all the details.
Since more and more people are requesting their research materials digitally these days, we decided it was time to revise our fees. They are still lower than most similar institutions in the area, but we do need to cover our costs for things like postage, staff time, equipment, and imaging software licenses.
The good news is, we've also built in some discounts for our members and for researchers who request materials that we can add to our digital archive.
If you haven't yet become a member or renewed your membership this year, please consider doing so. Your support allows us to provide the services, resources, and educational events that probably led you to us in the first place, and every little bit helps.
We recently received a small collection of early 20th century records from the Congregational Association of Detroit. It was the predecessor to the current Detroit Metropolitan Association before the Michigan Conference joined the United Church of Christ. The collection primarily consists of meeting minutes from the association's trustees, education committee, and women's groups.
We have very little material from the Michigan Conference, so this collection presents a new opportunity to see what the mid-western Congregationalists were doing, particularly during World War II era.
