Baptists in Burma
The story of early missionary activity in the late 19th century is a central narrative in the early years of several universities and college across the country, including the Ohio 5 and GLCA. Because of Denison University’s Baptist affiliation, both the university archives and museum hold an untold story of American Baptist Missionary activity in 19th Century Burma, as well as an intimate portrait of Burma’s evolution during that period. This story is told through photographs, journals, artwork, and other unique primary sources.

Denison University Homestead Archive
The Homestead is an ever-evolving experiment in community that is inhabited and maintained by Denison University students with strong commitments to a socio-environmentally responsible life ethic. We choose to live simply by using only technology that we deem appropriate and by making every effort to be fully conscious of the social and environmental impacts of our consumption. Our philosophies are brought to life through their practical application within the parameters of our academic setting.
The Homestead family encourages enrichment of the self and community through exploration and expression of our individual and collective creativity, ideas, emotions, and intellect. Our dynamic community nurtures life experiences that are self-affirming and empowering. These experiences contribute significantly to our future endeavors and create a collective spirit that unites the Homestead past and present. We open our arms to the greater global community to share with us the wonders embodied in the Homestead.
