Welshimer Memorial Library by Central Christian Church of Bristol, TN, in an unknown year. They were transferred to the archives in 2007. Access: This collection is open for research. The material format requires the use of an audio tape player. Processing Information: The audio tape cassettes in this collection were moved into buffered archival boxes for storage. The original order of the tapes, alphabetically by title, was preserved. An electronic list of sermon titles was re-saved in Microsoft Excel format on the same 3.5 floppy disk as the previous Lotus123 format (.wk1) because the Lotus format is a rare spreadsheet processing format. No further processing was done of this collection. The finding aid was written by Ginger Dillon in November of 2007.
