The Mother Teresa Documents

Mother Teresa, the late internationally renowned religious leader, was named recipient of the Bishop Carroll T. Dozier Award for Peace and Justice in 1989. The Mother Teresa Documents page contains two letters from Mother Teresa, a photo, an acceptance speech by Sister M. Sabita of the Missionaries of Charity in Memphis, and background information on the award.
The Higgins Collection

The collection, which is a gift from Judge and Mrs. Thomas Higgins, highlights the missionary work of the Rev. John Joseph Higgins, and the history of the Republic of Bolivia. Father Higgins was one of those extraordinary people who heard an inner voice calling him, and who chose to answer by leaving his family and his homeland to help others. The collection contains 158 books and pamphlets.
The Leslie H. Kuehner Napoleon Collection 318 K

The books in this collection are now available on the web at: A Catalogue Private of the Leslie H. Kuehner Napoleon Collection. NOTE: This is a large web page. Kuehner, a devoted bibliophile, collected approximately 1300 books relating to the life and career of Napoleon Bonaparte for more than eight decades. His gift to CBU included his collection of books, sculpture and other memorabilia in 1978 shortly before his death.
The Edward F. Barry Collection

Barry was an outstanding civic leader, philanthropist, an avid sportsman and noted humanitarian. His personal archives of records show him to be the most outstanding public servant the city of Memphis has produced in the 20th century. The Barry Collection consists of almost 400 separate files, 10 scrapbooks and more than 100 individual honors and awards.
