Communication Networks and Cooperation Between Archives and Users Introduction Recommendations Archives Users Introduction Group B considered the problems of cooperation among archival institutions engaged in the collection and preservation of evangelical records, as well as cooperation and communication between archivists and users of such material. The group consisted of both archivists and users, and it agreed from the outset that not enough evangelical archives collections were being preserved and that use of those collections in a variety of research, while already significant and likely to grow in the future, should be encouraged to expand even further. In these areas, as in many others discussed, the group's conclusion was that evangelical archives are not different in significant ways from other kinds of small, independent archives.
Evangelical archives have a small core of researchers.
They wish that group were larger and more inclined to funnel undergraduate and graduate students into research projects.
