On September 10 Gabriela Zoller and Jenny Barr led a Zoom webinar on Sheppard, an online discovery tool named for William H. Sheppard (1865-1927), the first African American missionary in the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.
Sheppard is where you can find descriptions of several specialized collections, including newly acquired archival materials; vertical files about significant Presbyterians, foreign missionaries, and Presbyterian congregations; as well as Hall's Index, which you can use to identify active and dissolved congregations, and track their history over time.
Watch the video below to experience the session.
