Abilene Christian University, in central Texas, is home to a large collection of historical materials that document the history of American Christianity. In particular, the university holds the largest collection of its kind related to the non-denominational Churches of Christ, which have around five million total congregants in the American Midwest and Southeast and a growing presence around the world. A preservation assessment grant from the NEH is allowing the university to develop a plan to effectively preserve these important pieces of the history of American religion.
