First, anyone planning on working in the UCC archives should consult the ''Guide to Family History Research in the Archival Repositories of the United Church of Canada'' compiled by the Committee on Archives and History, United Church of Canada (1996) (Family History Library book {{FHL|684182|title-id|disp=971 J5gf}}). The book provides an historical background for each of the four major components of the United Church (Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational, EUB), a description of the archival arrangements, brief summaries of their services and major holdings, advice on conducting genealogical research in the United Church repositories and then a listing of the ten archives, their locations, hours and collections. One chapter covers the histories of The United Church of Canada and of the uniting denominations. [http://www.united-church.ca/local/archives/on United Church Website]. | |||
