This collection is comprised mainly of Walter L. Crowding's prayers, sermons, a few newspaper clippings, and an oversized photograph. The prayers and sermons contained within this collection span the whole of his time in ministry.

The Walter Russell Lambuth collection reflects the Bishop's activities outside the United States in a series of manuscripts, articles and letters. There is one typed manuscript of his book, Medical Missions: The Twofold Task. There is a good chance that most, if not all, of the other typed manuscript articles of Lambuth's trips around the world were published by the Southern Methodist Church in their various periodicals. The correspondence is addressed to family, friends, colleagues and associated groups. Clippings are either death notices and/or tributes for both Lambuth and his wife.

The collection contains newspaper clippings, correspondences, and reports which primarily document the 1934 defaulted bonds controversy. The material is extremely anti-Methodist.

This collection contains a Bible Society record book and financial records. There is also a journal belonging to William John Shuey beginning January 1855, when he departed for Africa, and ending in July 1855, when he returned to the United States. The journal is accompanied by several handwritten pages of reminiscences.
