In October, 1983, the M.L. Tate, W.C. and F.E. Lewis Foundation
entered an agreement with the Moorland-Spingharn Research Center at Howard
University, Washington, D.C.(see Howard University
Libraries Home Page), which established the center as the repository
for the personal papers, historical documents, and artifacts of the founders
and relating to the church. The Moorland-Spingharn Center contains one of
the largest collections of African-American History and literature in the
United States. Historical literature about the Church can also be found in

PUBLISHING HOUSE HISTORY
The New and Living Way Publishing House pictured to the right was located at 1915 Heiman Street in Nashville, Tennessee. The first General Headquarters of the church was established when Bishops F.E. Lewis and B.L. McLeod, acting upon the directions of the Founder and First Chief Overseer, Bishop Mary Lena Lewis Tate, went to locate suitable properties in Nashville upon which to construct and operate Church physical facilities in 1923. With the help of God, these two bishops located and negotiated the purchase of a plot of land containing eleven 50 x 140 ft. city lots on Heiman Street. The property was known as the old "Fairfax property" and was purchased from a Dr. Henry H. Fairfax of Birmingham, Alabama. The bishops were able to report to the Chief Overseer the suitability of the location for General Headquarters operations. The land contained the old brick structure (pictured above) composed of five very large rooms. This building was renovated for use as the publishing house.
From around 1923 through the early 1940s, the Church operated the New and Living Way Publishing House, supplying the general Church with Sunday bible School literature, music, the publication of at least two periodicals and other printed materials. The Publishing House contained two large printing presses, paper cutters, print type and type-setting equipment, and considerable other office equipment and furniture. Because of financial exigencies and property litigation, formal operations were suspended around 1944.
