The staff of the Archives and Special Collections is building a digital collection of Covenant publications. The Frisk Digital Collection of Covenant Literature will make accessible hard-to-find original publications, mainly monographs and serials, considered to be key texts in the formation and growth of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
Works will cover a variety of themes such as theology, Bible, history, biography, education, spirituality, mission, and records of various institutions of the ECC. Many works were originally written in Swedish. Available here will be both the original Swedish works and their English translations, many of which were previously only available as archival manuscripts. In addition, other unpublished documents will be selectively included. The new collection joins the digital photograph collection of North Park University and the Covenant Church already made available as part of the CARLI Digital Collections.
The collection is named in honor of Donald C. Frisk (1911-2010), a pastor in the Covenant Church and professor of theology (1945-1978) and dean (1961-1967) of North Park Theological Seminary.
