Guide to the Churches of Henry Co., AL Wiregrass Church Documentation Project Record
Group 078
Date Span: 2007 - 2009
Extent: 0.33 cubic feet
Project Historical Sketch:Recognizing that the church played a significant role in the social and cultural as
well as spiritual lives of Wiregrass citizens, Wiregrass Archives director, Dr. Martin
T. Olliff, began in 2003 a four-phase project to document churches in a 30-county
coverage area. Phase 1 was a windshield survey of churches in the rural areas of
the counties; Phase 2 requires contacting those churches to gather demographic data
about their congregations; Phase 3 seeks to locate and collect church records, and
Phase 4 will produce or gather histories of churches and archivally arrange and describe
church records.
Various entities have supported this work through monetary grants, particularly the
º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ State University Dothan Faculty Council, the º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ University Faculty Development
Committee, and the Historic Chattahoochee Commission.
Henry Co., AL, Survey Historical Sketch: Scotty Kirkland conducted the Phase 1 survey in 2007 as a work for hire, supported
by a grant from the º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ University Dothan Campus Library. WA staff members Tina
Bernath and Angela K. Smith conducted the Phase 2 surveys by telephone, letter and
email in Spring 2009
Scope / Content:Contains information on rural churches in Henry County, Alabama, pursuant to all phases
of the overall project. Files contain a combination of Alabama Historic Commission
historical building survey forms, measured-drawing site plans, printed photographs
from Phase 1 fieldwork, and histories, bulletins, demographic surveys, and other information
gathered in Phase 2. CD-Roms contain digital photographs taken as part of the Phase
1 windshield survey.
Samford University microfilms records of churches in Alabama. The inventory notes
which Wiregrass churches have records at Samford.
Organization:Arranged alphabetically by church name.
