Testimonials from Former MWRC Junior Fellows
David Wilson, Ph.D., The University of Manchester:
'The MWRC has been an invaluable resource for my research. The book collection includes many hard-to-find printed works, including the increasingly rare Works of John Fletcher. In addition, there are numerous journals related to ecclesiastical history and Wesleyan studies, including a nearly complete set of the Proceedings of the Wesleyan Historical Society, available on open shelves. Also very useful to me has been the collection of theses (which continues to grow), providing access to unpublished scholarly work otherwise unavailable in the UK in a single location. As an important complement to the Methodist Archives at the John Rylands University Library of Manchester, I am glad to see the MWRC active in building its reference collection and hosting scholarly conferences'.
J. Gregory Crofford, Ph.D, Nazarene Theological College:
'If "great things have small beginnings", then the Manchester Wesley Research Centre is a prime example. By gathering together in one place a treasure trove of materials on Wesley studies and early Methodism, the MWRC has saved me much time and effort. Of particular value is the broad collection of master’s and doctoral level theses useful in identifying a research topic and its parameters. As one nearing completion of doctoral research, I heartily commend to others the MWRC and its helpful staff'.
