John C. Cooper Papers
Collection Organization
The John C. Cooper Collection consists of manuscripts for 94 articles and books, 29 speeches and lectures, three sermons, nine collections of class notes and papers, personal inventory, and vitae.
The manuscripts are arranged by title including related materials such as chapter outlines, proposals, galley sheets, and research materials. The Recovery of America, not yet cataloged, is housed at the end of the collection.
Researchers interested in religion, religious cults, and the step-by-step development of an article or book will find this collection a valuable help in their research.
This collection is partially processed. The inventory details the contents of the first 23 boxes, but 24 remaining boxes have not yet been processed.
