Pamphlets and papers

Certain pamphlets, reports, and unpublished materials are treated in an archival manner by the Divinity Library. YDSL has created several so-called "record groups" for these materials, each of which differs in its structure or level of detail. Record groups have been established to organize pamphlets related to various subject areas: e.g. , New England church records, Congregational church records, non-mission religious and benevolent societies, war and peace, social ethics.
