Papers of Beverly Carradine, Vennard College Collection

Summary

The Papers of Beverly Carradine, a sub-collection of the Vennard College Collection, document the late writing of Beverly Francis Carradine (1848-1931), a Methodist minister, holiness movement evangelist, and prolific author on sanctification. The collection consists mostly of handwritten manuscripts, likely created between 1922 and 1931, along with photocopies that make the fragile originals easier to use. Titles include Bible studies such as Bible Characters, Women of the Bible, and Overlooked Miracles of the Bible, as well as Sermon Outlines, Poems, Boyhood Memories, and multi-volume series such as Life Sketches, Life Photos, and Pictures from Life.

Smaller series of supporting materials round out the collection: copyright registrations and correspondence (1910-1926) for Carradine’s books and for the Christian Witness Company, newspaper clippings of his articles in The Christian Witness (1913-1914), and a 1919 hotel receipt from Seattle. The collection fills 14 boxes and will interest researchers of the American holiness movement, Methodist history, and early twentieth-century religious publishing. A separate collection of Carradine’s papers is held in the archives under call number ARC2000-009.
