As of June 2010, Kathy Spence Johnson is the archivist. She can be contacted at kathy.johnson@mnumc.org | |||
From their website (found under “About us”): | |||
Ask the archivist for: | |||
*full names of clergy and dates of service at a church | |||
*biographical information and photographs of clergy | |||
*early history of a local congregation | |||
*annual statistics of a congregation | |||
*previous names of a congregation | |||
*baptismal, marriage, and membership records of churches no longer in existence | |||
*help with genealogy research | |||
*past actions of conference committees and teams | |||
*how to care for local church records | |||
All churches that are still operating keep all their own records. If a congregation merged with another congregation then their records are kept at the church in which they merged. The archive only has records for discontinued congregations. | |||
'''Research Requests:''' | |||
Researchers can email Kathy Johnson at the email address above for Minnesota Methodist information. There is no charge for research but there is a charge for more than 10 copies (about $.25 per page). There is also a charge for postage. There may be a charge for scans, depending on size and how complicated they are. | |||
Researchers are welcome to come in person but it is best to make an appointment to insure that the archivist will be there. | |||
