The Fayetta Storm Davis Restoration Collection

The Fayetta Storm Davis Restoration Collection was established as a research center for Restoration history and named for the founding Librarian of Florida Christian College. Items in this room do not circulate at any time; however, additional copies of many items are available for circulation. Any library patron may use the materials within the Archives area. Please ask the Librarian for assistance in photocopying fragile items.

Missions: The Robert E. Reeves Missions Collection

Dr. Robert Reeves was for many years the Executive Director of FAME. As a visiting faculty member at FCC he left a lasting impression on his students here. Materials in this collection include his personal library, his files on missions and ministry and other designated gifts. We are honored that his family entrusted these materials to us for the benefit of students and faculty here.

Material in this collection circulates to students and faculty. Any other library patron may use this material within the library. Please ask the Librarian for assistance in photocopying fragile items.
