Additional Description

Arrangement

The records are arranged alphabetically by author and then by title. There are a number of records where the author is unknown. These are arranged alphabetically by title under “anonymous” at the end of the collection. It should be noted that the very last items are four folders of oversize "Sermon Reports" by Robert Brinsmead. They are listed out of order due to their size.
