Summary
- Creator:
- Mennonite Historical Library
- Abstract:
- Goshen College is a private Mennonite liberal arts college in Goshen, Indiana. The college was founded in 1894 and in 1906 established the Mennonite Historical Library, one of the most extensive collections of Anabaptist materials in the world. This collection contains 16mm films that were formerly part of the Library's circulating collection during the 1970's and 1980's. Films from the Mennonite Historical Library primarily focus on improving interpersonal communication, business and management skills, and exploring concepts of diversity such as racial prejudice, Native American traditions, and the emerging awareness of lesbian motherhood. As such, the collection reflects the Anabaptist principles of mutual aid and equality for all.
