- Worth noticing
- The archive says each work is proofread and cited to author, source, date, and page; much was retyped by hand.
Field notes
Materials are organized across six sections, including homilies and articles, poems, hymns with music, hymn texts, books, and sacred-art plates. The archive describes locating bound volumes, copying or scanning pages, manually retyping difficult print, proofreading, and recording author, source, date, and page. Homilies are also indexed by the Sunday they were written for; the site says it matches traditional-calendar material with the newer three-year lectionary.
