- Lists of church jurisdictions and headquarters.
- Chronological lists of principal church officials.
- Brief biographies or career summaries of ministers.
- Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae - the succession of ministers in the parish churches of Scotland
- Addresses of church schools or other institutions.
