THE FRANCIS SCHAEFFER COLLECTION 2012

In May of this year (2012, as of the writing of this post), we visited The Francis Schaeffer Collection at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and interviewed Dr. Bruce A. Little (Director, Custodian) and Dr. Bill Youngmark (Archivist) about the collection. It's taken some time, and there were a lot of details that needed to be worked out, in addition to production difficulties that needed to be overcome. Yet we are finally able to release the video, an interview-based documentary, on the Francis Schaeffer Collection at SEBTS. We were granted special access to the collection to report on the ongoing work and we are very excited and relieved to finally show it to you. 

While at the collection we also collected footage for our documentary on the Schaeffer's Wheaton Lectures which is another project we are working on. We hope to follow up this collection video in the future when we check back with Dr. Little for additional details and findings. 

Please note that Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) has custodianship of the Francis Schaeffer Collection which is owned by the Francis A. Schaeffer Foundation of which Udo Middelmann is the president. As part of the contract between the Schaeffer Foundation and SEBTS, the seminary will digitize the collection after which a copy of the digitized material will be given for study purposes to the Schaeffer Foundation study program in Gryon, Switzerland and the Hill House in Austin, Texas.
