The Digital Collection
The Library and Archives are in the process of digitizing many of the books, pamphlets, photographs, manuscripts and other items from its collection. So far, we have digitized many of the Schwenkfelder publications (unless they are already available on the internet), including books and pamphlets. We have also digitized manuscripts from the Archives including, land drafts, legal documents such as indentures, sermons, recipes, and correspondence. Photographs from the H. Winslow Fegley collection and other sources are also being digitized and made available for public use. Contact archivist Hunt Schenkel (hunt@schwenkfelder.org) for help in obtaining scans. See Image Reproduction and Rights page for details.
