Collection Overview
This collection contains audiocassettes, brought together in an artifical collection, likely by previous baptist history archivist John R. Woodard. The cassettes cover a variety of topics and issues, related to Wake Forest in some way: alumni or personnel appear on many of the tapes. Among the subjects of the recordings include Baptist, institutional, or academic issues. The information in the listing is often from the tape's identifying information.
Please note that tapes may not remain in playable condition. A small number of these recordings are available online through the Z. Smith Reynolds Library Special Collections and Archives Digital Collections.
