Dear Friends of Earl Palmer Ministries,
You are invited to browse the Earl Palmer website that has been reformatted as we transition towards the preservation of sermons, seminars, lectures and speaking events related to the 67 years of Earl’s ministry. At the invitation of Princeton Theological Seminary we will continue to send materials to add to the existing files. Here is a brief description of the two collections:
 
The Archives at Wright Library on the campus of Princeton Theological Seminary was established to honor Earl years ago and the Special Collection holds materials that are kept as hard copies there such as books, and hand-written correspondence in a temperature-controlled environment for use by individual scholars on site to access. 
                                                                 
In recent years Earl was honored with the addition of “The Earl Palmer Collection at Princeton Theological Seminary” in the digital library known as “The Theological Commons.” These materials can be accessed by individuals who have interest in exploring the range of materials via the PTS website. Presently this location holds over 3500 sermons, seminars, lectures both in audio and video format with the expectation of more entries in the year ahead.
 

At this time, the Earl Palmer website will offer a snapshot of items that will be housed at the seminary in the digital library. For now, we have included the sections listed below:

  • Remembering Earl (Obituary Memorial Service/Bulletin)

  • About Earl 

  • A Ministry of 67 Years

  • Legacy Moving Forward

  • Contact & Support

As a reminder, individuals who may have materials are welcomed to add to the collections or ask questions regarding specific subjects until the time to close this site will be decided and thereafter readers will be referred to the seminary website. I want to thank… 

  • The EPM Board – Alex Berezov, Dick Greiling/Treasurer, Scott Hardman, Paul Lange, Melissa Reis, Mary Snyder, Gordon Stephenson and Tony Whatley/Chairman – for their encouragement and ideas. 

  • Tate Busby (Study Assistant Emeritus) for his time and energy directed to reformat the website in this time of transition and his willingness to remain as contact for questions/comments. 

  • Jessica Turner (former Study Assistant/High School Teacher) for careful work in creating an extensive inventory of what we have, what is missing etc. with pages of entries via Excel spreadsheets.

  • Ed Schneble a gentleman with a history from Earl’s era as university pastor in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Ed has given countless hours of review of sermons and other materials newly discovered and materials in the PTS collection – an overwhelming task that has moved the work forward and assures the best use of what Earl had to offer throughout his years. Ed commented to me that he wanted to make sure that the Earl in the digital era is the person he remembers while at the University of Washington. Ed’s time and talents have been an answer to my prayers.  

Warmly,

Shirley Palmer
