Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection consists of research materials compiled by William Martin, Rice University professor of sociology, during the course of his research on the Christian religious right in the United States, as well as fundamentalists, fundamentalist education, evangelists such as Billy Graham, and other aspects of conservative Christian organizations. The materials consists of correspondence, notes, videos, transcriptions of video interviews, pamphlets, and books.

Oral history interviews on videotape and transcribed into print form make just over half of the collection. The video was recorded by Lumiere Productions in New York City in 1995 - January 1996, and transcribed primarily by Wordprint Studios largely as research material for Martin's book With God on Our Side.
