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 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.
