(Waco) Branch Davidians : Joe Robert collection, 1932-1997 1979-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/742590174

The (Waco) Branch Davidians: Joe Robert Collection was acquired by gift in two separate transactions from private donor Joe Robert in March 1997 and March 1999. The chronology of the collection begins in 1932 with Victor Houteff's controversial book The Shepherd's Rod and concludes with writings concerning George Roden in 1997. These records include religious tracts, cassette tapes, books, magazines, photographs, negatives, and papers ranging from sermons to personal correspondence to legal documents. Transcriptions of the emergency calls made while the compound was under siege in early 1993 and various newspaper clippings that chronicle public reactions to the cult are also present. Autopsy reports of those killed in the standoff provide a comprehensive overview of how various Branch Davidians perished in the fiery siege of Mount Carmel. Much of the material is divided according to the individual persons involved: Victor Houteff, members of the Roden family, David Koresh, and the survivors of the Waco Siege.
