I have been sidetracked lately ... taking more of a leadership role in the
archival materials housed at Grace College. Besides the college and seminary
archives and the collections of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, we
have a wonderful collection of records and artifacts related to Winona Lake
history, which was an important Chautauqua site before it became a major center
for the evangelical movement in America (and the home of Billy Sunday). But there is plenty of cataloging to
do, some necessary storage improvement and finding aids to create. Thankfully I
have a few history students who are looking to help! The long term goal is to
put together a joint archive with plenty of opportunities for researchers. Processing Evangelical History at Winona Lake

Sounds like a fantastic project, Jared! I'll be interested in seeing the outcome... and what gems you'll discover as you process these materials.
