The collection contains subject files on a variety of topics including conservative politics, Foursquare church and ministry, alternative medicine, Christian schools, and materials include financial records, correspondence, pamphlets, clippings, and other printed matter, audio, and video tapes. Since this collection was minimally processed some material may be restricted.
The subject files are arranged in rough alphabetical order.
Since this collection received only a basic level of processing, some restricted material in still present in the collection. Some folders are titled "Restricted" when we could identify that there might be confidential information contained in the file. There may be other confidential information in the collection. Please see the Conditions Governing Use for more information about what to do if you find confidential information.
The finding aid contains a preliminary box and folder list. When a folder had no title sometimes the processor(s) described the color of the folder or binder or wrote "blank" as the title. There are also many loose (unfoldered) items throughout the collection. These items are listed in the box and folder list with a title or description but have no folder number.
