12. Church Archives <strong>and</strong> Historical<br />
Records Collections<br />
<strong>American</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> history is interwoven with the social <strong>and</strong> cultural experience <strong>of</strong> religious<br />
life <strong>and</strong> thought. Most repositories <strong>of</strong> primary research materials in North America will include some<br />
documentation on religion <strong>and</strong> church communities. This directory is not intended to replace st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />
bibliographic guides to those resources. The intent is to give a new researcher entry to major archival<br />
holdings <strong>of</strong> religious collections <strong>and</strong> to programs <strong>of</strong> national scope. In the interest <strong>of</strong> space, no attempt<br />
has been made to list the specific contents <strong>of</strong> the archives or to include the numerous specialized<br />
research libraries <strong>of</strong> North America. The repositories listed herein are able to re-direct inquirers to significant<br />
regional <strong>and</strong> local church archives, <strong>and</strong> specialized collections such as those <strong>of</strong> religious<br />
orders, educational <strong>and</strong> charitable organizations, <strong>and</strong> personal papers.<br />
Repositories marked with an asterisk (*) are designated by their denomination as the <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />
archives. The reference departments at these archives will assist researchers in locating primary material<br />
<strong>of</strong> geographic or subject focus.<br />
