Records Held in the Archives
"So, I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made it clear to me." Peter 1: 12-14 (NIV)
The following is a basic listing of original and published records held in the Presbyterian Church Archives Research Centre. The records, particularly Parish Records, often only cover a broken period or give very basic information. Some records by comparison are surprisingly full and detailed. A small percentage of the Presbyterian Archives collection has been indexed with the National Register of Archives and Manuscripts : (NRAM).
