The primary purpose of the Presbyterian Church Archives is to ensure that accurate, authentic and reliable records documenting the work of The Presbyterian Church in Canada (from its beginning to the present) are properly managed, preserved and accessible for use. With this in mind, we hope the following resources will be of help to you in ensuring the life and work of your own church, presbytery, synod or committee, is documented and preserved.
