His name adorns the seminary<\/a> at Baylor, and the congregation\u00a0he pastored for almost half a century, First Baptist Dallas, continues to be one of the nation\u2019s more influential churches. Long after his death, the legacy of George W. Truett<\/a>, AB 1897, continues to grow — and thanks to Baylor Libraries, his message will continue to reach new audiences.<\/p>\n Baylor has recently completed\u00a0the process of digitizing, transcribing and archiving\u00a0a collection of more than 100\u00a0sermons delivered by Truett<\/a>. Gathered in part from a series of records of Truett’s sermons produced in 1966 by Word Records,\u00a0the George W. Truett Sermons project<\/a> is now part of Baylor’s Digital Collections, after nearly two years of work.<\/p>\n The records are a treasure trove for Truett\u2019s many admirers, and for future pastors looking to gain an insight into the historical role of preaching in the Baptist church. The collection\u00a0contains more than\u00a033 hours of content, including reaction from parishioners and occasional music at the end.<\/p>\n The project represents the culmination of countless hours and dedication from Baylor Libraries staff. In addition to digitizing the records, they also transcribed them (over a quarter of a million words to type!), created metadata for search engines, and collected images and other objects for archiving.<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, George W.
