This collection is comprised of materials from annual meetings of various Primitive Baptist Associations in North Carolina and Virginia. Given the geographic divide represented in this large collection, the collection is divided into two sub-series. The Virginia sub-series contains annuals and minutes of meetings from the years 1812-1962. The North Carolina sub-series is also divided into the various local Primitive Baptist Associations of the state. Materials in the North Carolina sub-collections contain material ranging from 1800-2010, and these materials are print pamphlets and minutes of the annual meetings of the various associations that they represent.
The John D. Wood, Sr. sermon collection is comprised of audio recordings of messages and sermons created or collected by Elder John D. Wood, Sr. The sermons are taken from a number of Biblical texts and cover a variety of topics. Though Primitive Baptists do not believe in formal ordination of their ministers, Elder Wood was a well-known and respected speaker in the Primitive Baptist community. The majority of these sermons fall between 1956-1979.
