RDWLP Receives Permission to use Michigan State University Special Collection

Michigan State University maintains a number of special book collections on campus. Some of these collections have been painstakingly digitized and made available over the internet. These books, some of them hundreds of years old, may not have reached another dozen readers in their current forms, but digitally have the ability to reach millions.

I was able to get in touch with one of the MSU special collection directors who gave us permission to make their special collection, “Shaping the Values of Youth - Sunday School Books in 19th Century America” available via our platform. Many thanks to the team at MSU for helping get these books, significant for the influence they had in raising a generation of Christian leaders in America, into the hands of Christians today.

Special thanks to Annmarie Tate at the Virginia Baptist College for helping us get in touch with MSU. We will be working on uploading this new collection, and will aim to have it online within 3 weeks time, contingent on the success of a platform refresh we are planning.
