(Waco) Branch Davidians : William Smith collection, 1984-1998 1993-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/742616154

The (Waco) Branch Davidians: William Smith Collection was acquired by gift in three separate transactions from private donor William Smith in 1994-1995, 1996, and January 1999. The chronology of the collection begins in 1984 with sermons written and preached by Branch Davidian leader David Koresh. It concludes in 1998 with an article located in Free American Newsmagazine. The following collection contains a wide range of primary and secondary source material including cassette tapes, video tapes, photographs, negatives, magazines, newspapers, books, personal correspondence, petitions, fliers, and legal briefs. Transcriptions and cassette tapes of the 911 calls made during the Siege of 1993 are present. The primary focus of the collection is on the general public's reactions to the government's handling of the situation and the violence that culminated in the deaths of nearly all the Branch Davidians who were living in the compound. Significant attention is also paid to the trials that surfaced in 1994-1995.
