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.
The Signs of the Times collection contains digitized copies of the Signs of the Times newspaper, a monthly Primitive Baptist publication that dates back to 1832. This collection is arranged according to the date of publication. All twelve editions of that year’s papers are in a single .pdf file and cover every year from 1832 to 2014.
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.

These materials span the years 1778 to 2013.
