A donor sent us a box of directories from the Elm & Hudson and the Thomas Street Churches of Christ, both in Altus, Oklahoma.\u00a0 A few are pictured here.\u00a0 Congregational directories are valuable resources for genealogists and local historians and can serve much larger research projects.\u00a0 Often they include historical information and sometimes information about the ministries of the congregation.\u00a0 Usually the information they contain is unavailable elsewhere. We are always glad to see new directories come into the collection.<\/p>\n

I have an old directory. How can I know if you need it? <\/em><\/strong>Great question. Chances are good we do not already have it.\u00a0 But we’ll be glad to check.\u00a0 The first thing you can do is \u00a0look up your congregation in this finding aid<\/a> to determine if we have an existing file.\u00a0 Our vertical files could contain a wide array of paper items.\u00a0 There might be a few bulletins, or a historical sketch, or a photograph or flyer or other kind of ephemera in the file.\u00a0 If your congregation is not listed in that finding aid, we do not have a file for it and therefore anything we receive will be a great new addition!\u00a0 We are always getting new items in, like these directories from Altus, and would be delighted to hear from you about similar items.\u00a0 Contact me at mac.ice@acu.edu or 325-2144 if I can assist further.<\/p>\n
