Description:

The mission of The Presbyterian Church in Canada Archives is to ensure that the documentary evidence of the life and work of the church is preserved and accessible for use by church officials and interested historians, researchers, and community members. The Archives' holdings date primarily from the early 1800s to the present, and consist of textual records, photographs, audio-visual recordings, architectural plans, and microfilm. The vast majority of this material is unique and irreplaceable, and therefore exceptionally valuable. These records were created by community members and church workers in the normal course of business and therefore act as evidence of that business: documenting the decisions, actions, events, responsibilities, assets, property and activities of The Presbyterian Church in Canada.
