As the first phase of digitizing historic Brethren publications nears completion, the Brethren Digital Archives committee met Monday in Brookville, Ohio. The Brethren Heritage Center hosted the meeting.
The group reviewed the list of publications yet to be scanned and made plans to be certain the work is accomplished. They also discussed promoting the project among the cooperating groups. While much of the effort has been funded through a grant from Lyrasis, the nation’s largest regional membership organization for libraries and information professionals, additional monies still need to be raised to complete this first phase.
The Brethren Digital Archives includes back issues of the Brethren Missionary Herald magazine and Grace Theological Journal. They may be accessed at www.archive.org.
