Language: English Processing: David Reed, Nancy Gower Finding Aid Revisions: Andrew Wong, June 2018 2 Biography Born Patricia Parkhurst in 1931 in Bangor, Maine, this Pentecostal historian found the Lord at the age of 8 and his baptism at 13 through the ministry of her pastor, Clifford Crabtree and special preacher, George Chambers. Her marriage to her first husband, a Oneness Pentecostal, brought her into UPC circles, and during his decline in health she participated in the Word of Faith movement. A Pentecostal all her life, she began collecting books and tracts and doing interviews with “older saints” while doing research for her pastor Jim Peters who was writing a book on the Pentecostal movement in Maine, Prevailing Westerlies, published in 1988. She and her second husband Carroll volunteered at Zion Bible Institute in Barrington, RI, where they met Mary Campbell Wilson. Using her developing skill as a research assistant and word processor, Patricia Pickard helped Mary Campbell Wilson complete Obedience of Faith, the biography of Christine Gibson, founder of Zion Bible Institute, published in 1993. During the 1990’s she published a newsletter for the Newburgh Center Pentecostal Church, Newburgh Eftsoons. Then as part of her duties as administrative assistant for “Door of Faith” radio program in Bangor, she also put out a newsletter entitled Simply Divine. During the 1990’s she also wrote 7 tracts and in commemoration of her church’s 70th anniversary authored a book entitled Voices of Pentecost in Bangor, Maine. She also continued to tape interviews with older Pentecostal saints as time allowed. Since 1998 she has been the archivist at Zion Bible Institute. Having developed a passion for collecting Pentecostal historical documents, she augmented her own growing archives with the materials gathered by Mary Campbell Wilson, consisting of “Zion Bible Institute material” and other Pentecostal papers. Through the years she has shared her materials with scholars and publishers also interested in collecting Pentecostal history. Her autobiography, Patricia Pickard, A Peek Into the life of Patricia Pickard, reflects her broad acquaintance with persons across the various branches of the Pentecostal tradition. The collection contains a wide variety of research notes, sermon notes, pamphlets and tracts as well as a significant collection of books on Pentecostalism and related topics. It is particularly rich in materials documenting Pentecostalism in New England and New Brunswick. 3 Scope and Content Patricia Pickard, a lifelong Pentecostal from Bangor, Maine, has been an avid collector of Christian materials for many years, with particular interest in the Pentecostal movement in New England and New Brunswick.

The Collection includes copies of newsletters and interviews that report on the early Pentecostal Revival in northern Maine and New Brunswick, as well as a number of personal diaries with Sermon Notes, recording a wide range of Pentecostal preachers over the years.
