Personal Holdings

Members of the congregation may have materials in their possession. Be willing to photocopy if necessary. The sources may be primary or secondary and will come from all of the family storage places like attics, basements, closets, trunks and boxes. Some may be treasure troves with surprises to discover. R.L. Roberts told this story about the John Allen Gano papers that are housed in the Milliken Special Collections area at ACU's Brown Library. The Ganos were Dallas lawyers.
