Welcome to the portal to Bethany Special Collections Online!

This page serves as the direct link to the Bethany Special Collections Online, hosted by PALNI (the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana [see www.palni.edu]).  Online you will find selected high-quality images of title pages and other pages of interest chosen from parts of Bethany's Special Collections, including numerous samples of beautifully hand-illustrated woodcuts, such as displayed here.

In the future, we intend to post the history of the recent conservation project that enabled us to preserve many of the works making up our valuable collection, and which also made this initial Online offering available.  We are grateful to the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation for their invaluable support in these efforts.  We are working to include some of the project narrative, as well as some before-and-after photos of the conservation work done, as well as some detail about the online portion of the collection. Please check back later  to see our updated site!

 In the meantime, here is the direct link to the Bethany Special Collections Online!  Enjoy!
