Records of Historic Value

A message from PHS

What are records of historic value, and how does the Presbyterian Historical Society collect and preserve them? PC(USA) offices, churches, and mid councils create records every day. Some of these records are transactional, created as part of the organization’s routine business, and can be destroyed when they’re no longer of use. Other records document the deliberations, vision, and work of the church in the world. These are worth perpetual preservation. The Presbyterian Historical Society collects these records of historic value and preserves them in secure on-site and online facilities. While these records of historic value might look different for every office or body, PHS staff are trained and available to help make decisions about what records should make their way to the archives. Find out how the Presbyterian Historical Society serves as the record keepers of the PC(USA).

New Logo for Presbytery

Calling all Artists!

The Presbytery is in search of a new logo and is starting a contest for anyone that would like to participate. (the talented winner will receive a financial gift!) Please submit to Tammy three examples of your work or proposed logo's through March 31, 2023.

Selma Disaster Relief

Many of you generous people have asked how to help out in Selma. Currently we have a team of people investigating our Presbytery's best strategic approach to long term assistance in Selma. In the meantime if you wish to make a gift for the rebuilding of Selma, we recommend the Black Belt Community Foundation. We recommend this because the Black Belt Community Foundation is a coalition of all the stakeholders in the Black Belt and are more intimately aware of the needs of the region. You may donate at the website below:
