Documents given from an individual to the BGC Archives can include letters, diaries, reports, photos, films, videos, scrapbooks, maps, posters, and much more. Documents from an organization can include correspondence, statistics, financial records, board or trustee files, etc. This certificate also includes any restrictions that the Archives and donor have agreed on. For example, the certificate might say that certain files are closed to use for a certain number of years. Material donated to the Archives is kept in a special and secure storage area, described in guides similar to ones we have on our web site, and made available to researchers in the Archives Reading Room.
Researchers come from all over the world to use our collections.
They include Christian workers, scholars, and the general public. All are welcome. We would love to talk to you.
