The Rev. Warren Arthur Evans was a 1933 graduate of Virginia Union University with a bachelor of divinity degree. His thesis at VUU was titled “The Preacher as a Prophet.” He was a native of Oklahoma and received an AB degree from Fisk University in 1930. Evans was a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. He was married to Virginia Edmunds and had three children: David, Warren and Elise.
Evans attended the University of Southern California in the early 1940s. He was a teacher in the Richmond public schools, specifically at Graves Junior High School ca. 1957. He attended barbering classes ca. 1956.
Evans was pastor of Beulah Baptist Church in Minor, Va., ca. 1950. He was pastor of Union Shiloh Baptist Church in Laneview, Va., ca. 1962-1971.

The material includes church programs, correspondence, receipts and ledgers for his household expenses, sermon notes, photos, documents related to his various educational pursuits, and a travel diary, with a packet of postcard photographs of “The Famous Temples of Baalbeck,” undated.
