Angus Library Information
The Angus Library, Regent’s Park College, Oxford, has a detailed collection of papers and documents relating to Baptist life in Europe, mainly covering the work of the Baptist World Alliance in Europe (c1930-70) including some documents relating to the formation of the European Baptist Federation but very little relating to its growth and development and almost nothing about the Baptist Seminary in Rüschlikon.
Most of the documentation takes the form of papers and correspondence concerning the recovery of Europe after the Second World War, relief work, the growth and development of Baptist churches and issues of religious toleration.
