This collection is comprised of materials from annual meetings of various Primitive Baptist Associations in North Carolina and Virginia.

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.
