Verna J. Dozier Papers, 1975-2003, 1940-2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/722370066

This collection consists of the materials belonging to Verna J. Dozier at the time of her passing. It is known that both Verna and her sister Lois destroyed many personal and family documents; this includes almost the entirety of their correspondence. The items they did keep can be found here. This includes some correspondence and many familial photographs, but the bulk of the collection is centered on Verna's ministry. Included herein are sermons, published works, interviews, transcripts, photographs and videos all providing evidence of this part of her important and influential life. She also preserved materials from the places she visited and many people with whom she connected. In addition to Verna's items, there are two other possible creators of this material. First, this collection contains the few items of Lois' that Verna kept. These items have been placed together and can be found in the first series. The second ancillary collection is the Hahn-Rollins Series. Dee Hahn-Rollins and subsequently her daughter, Stacey, were the executrices of Verna's estate. It is apparent that they too collected materials pertaining to Verna's ministry, as well as soliciting and collecting information about Verna posthumously. Here are a large number of sermons (mostly duplicates), interview transcripts and audio/visual materials. This series also contains some outgoing correspondence from Verna; these items are unique to this series.
