A. C. Watters’ book History of the British Churches of Christ is online here. Not only does this make what was a hard-to-find print book accessible, this is keyword searchable…a huge improvement over the un-indexed 1948 book.

The summer of 2009 has been, without question, the busiest research season in my three years at DCHS. It’s been terrific: lots of people are working on congregational history, personal family history and genealogy, scholarly articles and presentations, theses and dissertations, plus an array of books.
