Religion and state

The collection includes correspondence between Oliver C. Phillips, Sr. and numerous recipients. It also includes the unpublished manuscripts of Phillips regarding subjects such as religion, philosophy, and politics.

The James Ashford Manka papers are concerned primarily with Manka's peripheral activities, including politics and religion. The collection has been arranged by subject. File folders with this subject arrangement were maintained by Manka and fall into five categories and form a rough chronology of Manka's activities.
