Guide to the David Southerland Collection, ca. 1904-1960
Record Group 162
Extent: 0.5 cu ft
Historical Sketch: Dr. David Southerland is a native of Graceville, Florida, where his father was president of the Baptist Bible Institute (now Baptist College of Florida). As a Baptist minister, Dr. Southerland and his wife served in five states as well as France and Belgium. He retired as Executive Director of the Florida Baptist Association headquartered in Tallahassee, FL, in 2012. Dr. Southerland's connection to the Wiregrass Archives is through Dr. Priscilla McArthur, former History Dept. Chair at TSUD.
Scope / Content Note: One "Verascope Richard" three-dimensional viewer (model patented ca. 1860s) plus 196 glass slides (most undamaged)of the World War 1 era in France, including scenes of trenches and destruction of battles. Collection also includes original newspapers of historic events and reprints of Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie's Magazine of Civil War era events.
Organization: Organized into 2 series: 1) Newspapers; 2) Verascope Richard viewer and slides.
Provenance: Ca. 1995, Dr. Southerland was speaking about Belgian churches which led to further meetings with an interested but unknown listener. This listener later gave Dr. Southerland the Verascope Richard viewer and slides in order to protect and make them available. Dr. Southerland gave them to the Wiregrass Archives through his contact with Dr. Priscilla McArthur, retired historian at TSUD.
