Elizabethtown College's Digital Collections

 

The Church of the Brethren Photograph Collection consists of more than 400 mostly black and white photographs of meeting houses and churches in eastern Pennsylvania, historic sites, gravestones, portraits and nursing homes associated with the Church. The photographs date from the 1890's to the present. A subset of the collection includes images from 200 glass-plate negatives dating from 1890 to 1915. These photographs were taken by J.G. Francis, a leader in the founding of Elizabethtown College and a minister of the Church of the Brethren in eastern Pennsylvania.

 

The Peace Pamphlet Digital Collection contains more than 30 Church of the Brethren and other pamphlets that focus on peace, historic peace churches, conscientious objectors and alternative service. Pamphlet dates range from 1775 to the 1970s.

This project has been funded with Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds administered by the Office of Commonwealth Libraries.
