| The information-sharing sessions were moderated by project Directors and professors Scott Gac and Christopher Hager. Participation numbered around 40 people in each of the two sessions, which were open mainly to members of the Trinity community, though some members of the general public may have attended. The Project's reports were described as "living documents" which are subject to critique and scrutiny, and represent "its research to date." In the discussions, the directors and other members of the Primus Project's governing board stated that they had conducted research at the Epsicopal Archives in Middletown and consulted Trinity founder [[brownell_thomas_church|Bishop Brownell's]] personal correspondence, among other sources. The report(s) do not name individuals who contributed to their authorship—even in all together listing—and instead state "prepared by the Primus Project." | The information-sharing sessions were moderated by project Directors and professors Scott Gac and Christopher Hager.
