The Primitive Baptist Library's Holdings of Public Debates:

Most of our collection of public debates has been microfilmed. Nearly 4,500 pages have been filmed on three reels. The Company which did the filming has closed now, and we have not located another company to make copies from our master negative. However, here is an inventory of each reel:

Reel #1: Debate on the Doctrine of Atonement (Elder Josiah Hume, Primitive Baptist, vs. Benoni Stinson, General Baptist); Debate on Total Hereditary Depravity (Elder Josiah Hume vs. Benj. Franklin); Debate on Universalism and the Resurrection (Elder John R. Daily, Primitive Baptist, vs. John Hughes, Universalist); Theological Discussion (Elder John R. Daily vs. W. P. Throgmorton).
