Additional Uncataloged HSRC Periodical Titles
The Holy Spirit Resource Center holds an estimated 1,200 periodical titles from the Pentecostal and Charismatic Movement. Currently, 600 of these are cataloged in our library catalog system, with over 600 titles that have been documented but have not yet been cataloged. Therefore, this list serves as a finding aid for additional titles we have that are not in our system. The holdings information is limited at this point since full documentation has yet to be done. You can contact the HSRC (hsrc@oru.edu) for information about the exact holdings. Below is a PDF of the alphabetical list.
