We do this by training church historians, by the production of relevant literature and by serving the historical preservation and research needs of the Presbyterian Church in America, its committees and agencies and the churches of the denomination. Thus, the development and progress of every American Presbyterian denomination is to some extent an interest of the Center, particularly where there has been a direct historical connection. This makes the history of the PCUS a legitimate interest of the Historical Center and so we welcome materials into the Collection that document the history of that denomination.
Archival resources exist to be used.
There is little point in simply filing away papers that will never be looked at again. The materials housed here have lasting value. They are relevant to future generations of God's people and it is the purpose of the PCA Historical Center to make these records accessible, both now and for as long as God may give us the ability to preserve them.
