Contact the Archives

The Archives of the Episcopal Church is a private archives repository that welcomes public research inquiries about the history and organizational life of The Episcopal Church, its governing bodies, affiliated organizations, and prominent members.

Public research inquiries should be submitted through this online Contact Form below and will be processed in the order in which they are received, however, officers and staff of the General Convention and the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society receive priority assistance.

Requests receive thirty minutes of complimentary research. If a request requires more than the allocated time, archives staff will follow up with a summary of the research findings and an estimate of additional time and fees to complete the request. Researchers will be required to complete a Research Application prior to initiating a research request that requires an extensive review of records, scheduling an onsite research visit, or receiving scanned documents.

Payment of levied fees is required prior to additional services or delivery of documents or images approved by the inquirer.
