Restore & Renew Capital Campaign
The “Restore & Renew: The Campbell Papers Project” aims to preserve, relocate, and eventually digitize the Alexander Campbell Papers and Library, currently at Bethany College, to the Disciples of Christ Historical Society (DCHS). This Capital Campaign will fund a dedicated library to house the Campbell Collection, ensuring its protection for future generations. The project also includes renovating DCHS’s archival offices to create a modern facility for preserving and studying Alexander Campbell’s legacy and the Stone-Campbell Movement.
