Letting the World In: Anticipating the Use of Religious Archives for the Study of Nonreligious Subjects

Abstract

Like researchers who overlook religious archives when writing secular history or exploring other nonreligious topics, religious archivists often neglect to consider these same researchers when describing their collections and planning their outreach. Archivists at the Billy Graham Center Archives (Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois) go beyond serving those researchers who come to use their materials to study religious topics and reach out to those studying nonreligious subjects.
