Description

"The Mennonite Library and Archives (MLA) is operated by Bethel College with Mennonite Church USA in North Newton, Kan. The purpose of the MLA is to help people answer questions about the Mennonite past. To do this, the MLA collects, preserves, and makes available personal papers, documents, periodicals, books and other media related to Mennonite studies. The MLA serves as the official archives of Bethel College, and one of two official archives for Mennonite Church USA (see Mennonite Church USA Archives–Goshen on the campus of Goshen [Ind.] College) and as a research center promoting the study of Anabaptist and Mennonite history. The MLA is open to the public.

The MLA has in its holdings about 30,000 books, 8,200 volumes of bound periodicals, and approximately 6,100 cubic feet of archival records. In addition, there are large collections of audio and video recordings, microforms, photographs, motion pictures, maps and other items." --from the Bethel College website
