This guide is for researchers who are searching for historical information about a particular Episcopal congregation. The tabs on the left-hand menu direct researchers to sources by type.
How to Get Started
To start your research, you will need to learn 4 details about your congregation of interest:
- Its name and previous names
- The City, State, and (ideally) County where it is/was located.
- Whether it is still open
- When it was founded
After gathering these basic details, you can get started with your research using the library's collections.
Research Assistance
For research assistance, please reach out to paynelib@vts.edu. A librarian or archivist will respond to your inquiry and will help you get started with your project. In your initial email, please include the above 4 details about your congregation and a brief note about the nature of the project you are working on. This will help us tailor our service to you.
