Processing Information

The papers are arranged according to topics defined by Carlisle Davidson.

Papers were first placed in Record Group 4 under the title Evangelical Friends Association. In 1988, in a review of the collections, a decision was made to consider these personal papers of Carlisle G. Davidson rather than official records of Evangelical Friends Association. Therefore the collection was transferred to Record Group 5 under a new title, Davidson Papers.

Formerly cited as Evangelical Friends Association Papers.
