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.
This collection consists of materials loaned to the Archives and Special Collections at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary by the Primitive Baptist Library and Archives for digitization. Materials in this collection include record books of individual Primitive Baptist churches, programs from services at various churches, records books of Primitive Baptist associations, maps, letters and correspondence, newsletters of historical societies, books on the histories of Primitive Baptist associations, and membership directories of assorted Primitive Baptist churches. These materials span the years 1778 to 2013.
After digitization by SEBTS staff, all material in this collection was returned to the Primitive Baptist Library and Archives in Elon, NC where they are physically housed.
This collection primarily contains images captured by the SEBTS Communication Department. These images date from 1908 to 2006, representing history from before the official founding of the school until recent years. Images pertain to SEBTS events and buildings, Wake Forest College, and SEBTS missions trips. This collection is broken up into four series. Series 1 and 2 primarily contain materials regarding SEBTS and Wake Forest College, Series 3 has not been digitized yet, and Series 4 contains SEBTS missions trip images.
