All references to archives or manuscript collections held by the Archives and Special Collections of the James P. Boyce Centennial Library should be referenced as

[Name of Collection], Archives and Special Collections, James P. Boyce Centennial Library, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky.

For example, the Charles Spurgeon Gardner Papers (a manuscript collection), would be referenced as:

Additionally, any items referenced within one of these collections should also reference the title and date of the item, the series title or number (if applicable), followed by the above citation. For example, a specific sermon within the Charles Spurgeon Gardner Papers would be referenced as:
