What We Do
The General Commission on Archives and History of The United Methodist Church serves as the connection's repository for its general agencies, Council of Bishops, and other major connectional offices. We help to not only preserve the historic record but to make it relevant to today's ministries and future missions.
We promote our heritage
Through fulfilling research requests from various parties, to speaking engagements, to webinars, online courses, podcasts, and so much more, we ensure that those in the pews, the seminaries, the pulpits, and beyond know what it means to be United Methodist.
We preserve our heritage
With over six miles of linear shelving, we house the primary documentary record of our connection. We also care for a digital vault, an artifact’s vault, and a growing digital archive/exhibit. Come visit us for a tour!
