DIGITAL LIBRARY

The Digital Library website is now live and populated mostly with CFTS research papers from authors who have given us written permission to post.  We have also digitally catalogued the Founder’s Library & Archives, which now resides at our Olivet location.  We will continue to populate the site with other important documents as we receive them or retrieve them from our archives.  For instance, award winning sermons, Congregational and Keynote lectures and other significant papers may be posted. 

The Center has established the Arvel M. and Kathleen Steece Memorial Library, a collection that is curated through the Burrage Library at Olivet College.  This project was funded by a grant from Plymouth Church in Brooklyn, NY.  The Steece collection may be browsed online at Burrage Library. Do an advanced search for the Arvil M. Steece Collection. Many of the volumes are available through inter-library loan.

Additionally, the Center administers and maintains the Founder’s Library and Archives. Both collections contain hard-to-find Congregational resources.  
The Center also collects and curates a number of research papers, lectures and sermons of Congregational significance online.
