Summary

The papers of Albert Wakefield Sweazy cover the years 1924 to 1996 with a concentration of materials that have no date.  Included in this collection are Reports, Subject Files, Literary Productions, Scrapbook Materials, Audio Recordings, and Printed Materials.

Subject files include the history of churches he served and much material on the history of the UM church in Kentucky, biographical and historical data, and sermons. His literary productions are often handwritten and taken directly from notebooks or legal pads.  Among his literary productions are skits & stories, tributes, correspondence, lectures, devotionals, and notes from sermons, memorial services, and conferences.  Scrapbook materials include any of the following: photographs, awards for service to US Army or various churches, conference medals, diplomas, copies of wall-hung plaques, and pages and materials from actual scrapbooks assembled by his wife.  His personal Bible given by his parents is catalogued in the Printed Materials.  Lastly, recordings of various sermons and services are in the Audio Materials.

This collection was donated by his wife after his death and can be found in two boxes of letter- or legal-sized folders.   The processors of this collection made every attempt to maintain Dr. Sweazy’s original grouping and order of materials.  However, this at times had to be overridden for the sake of clarity, space, and continuity.  Scott Hughes and Julie Gunby processed these materials in April 2000, and this finding aid was prepared the same month.
