C. Benton Kline, Jr. Special Collections created a fascinating timeline, "A Window Into The Breach," looking at racism and the institution of slavery in the 19th century as it relates to the history of Columbia Theological Seminary. Many of the slides focus on the earliest and largest donations that the seminary received prior to emancipation, as well as events and individuals who did much to shape the life of the institution. The timeline was created using open-source Knight Lab TimelineJS.
Columbia Theological Seminary was founded in 1828 in Lexington, Georgia. The seminary was moved to Columbia, South Carolina in 1830. It then moved to its current location in Decatur, GA in 1927.
