The Archives at Bridwell Library
Bridwell Library houses and manages three distinct sets of archival materials, each with their own focus: the Perkins School of Theology Archive, the Bridwell Library Archive, and the Methodist Studies Archive. Additionally, Bridwell Library houses three externally-managed United Methodist archives: the North Texas Conference Archive, the Rio Grande Conference Archive, and the South Central Jurisdiction Archive. Together, these inter-related archives include one hundred eighty named collections (3000 linear feet) of published and unpublished research materials that document the history and ongoing work of Perkins School of Theology, Bridwell Library, and United Methodism.
