About the Collection

Donated by alumni Bill and Gloria Gaither, the 1900+ volume hymnal collection was purchased from the Hymn Society of the United States and Canada. The collection spans the 19th and 20th century American evangelistic or revivalist efforts, including well-known hymnists, musicians and singers such as Homer Rodeheaver and Ira Stankey. All titles in the Gaither Hymnal Collection may be searched using the online catalog by searching "hymnal collection" as an author.
