New Digital Collection Brings Unpublished Theological Material to Light

CARA member, Newland Smith, the historiographer at The Richard R. Seidel Archives of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago shared this upcoming event hosted by the Styberg Library of the Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. 

At Garrett, Georgia Elma Harkness became the first woman to hold a full professorship in theology at a Protestant seminary in the United States. That was in 1939!

The event flyer provides all the details you need in order to participate.

 

The event program announces three new aspects that have been developed to enhance and increase accessibility for the Georgia Harkness collection at Styberg Library:

 

Georgia Harkness Papers Digital Collection 

 

Created in CONTENTdm, housed in CARLI Digital Collections, this digital collection includes only previously unpublished texts. To visit the collection, go to https://bit.ly/2TPu6K5 

 

 Georgia Harkness LibGuide

 

The Styberg Library research guide contains resources by and about Georgia Harkness, the finding aid for the entire Georgia Harkness collection, and a bibliography. All resources are available online or at the Styberg Library. To check out the LibGuide go to  https://guides.garrett.edu/harkness

Women's History Month Display: 

Celebrating Dr. Georgia Elma Harkness

The display contains materials over the course of Georgia Harkness' life (1891-1974) and materials about her since her death.

Visiting these sites online and attending the event, CARA members can pick up inspiration for their own projects as well as learning about a significant local religious leader and educator. What a great way to celebrate Women's History Month and to get a dose of hope for the world.
