Developing Pentecostal Archives
Other articles by TIMOTHY SATO
The Pentecostal and Charismatic Research Initiative includes an archival portion that will create an inventory of scholarly resources and establish a searchable website, hosted by the USC Digital Library, that will offer digitized and cataloged primary archival materials that document the growth and expansion of global Pentecostal and charismatic movements. Project manager Deborah Holmes-Wong and research assistant Jong Jung have already identified over 3,500 (and counting) scholarly resources, which will be assembled into a comprehensive bibliography of English language resources on Pentecostal and charismatic religion. Roughly 850 items can be described as primary sources, including sermons, internal histories, doctrinal publications, periodicals, memoirs, biographies, archival collections, and popular “self-help” literature. Jon Miller (representing CRCC) and Deborah Holmes-Wong and Matt Gainer (representing the USC Digital library) have had extensive conversations with several key archivists who oversee important Pentecostal/ charismatic collections of primary materials in Europe and Asia.
