All archives
The Heritage Group now has a vast amount of archives that are held in a variety of places. Most are available in digital format and can be accessed via this website. Others are in hard copy and are available in the Church or on request. The list of those archives in the Church is below and we hope visitors to the Church will find them both useful and intersting.
Many of the archives can be accessed via this website and by exploring the site visitors will come across items of interest to them. In this All Archives section, we are making links to as many of the resources as we can and they can be accessed via the menu on the left of the page. The links will lead to other sections of this website and some to external sites where the resources are stored. It will take us some time to fully upload all links, so please accept our apologies if you cannot immediately find what you are looking for.
Some items are either copyright or are not yet in a digital format, and they are listed as unavailable. Please contact us if you wish to view any of these archives.
If there are specific items that are of interest to you, or if you have items that you would like to add to the archive, please contact us using the message box below.
