Consulting Available for Local Church Archives

On Wednesday, May 13, Robert Presutti, Curator of Archives and Manuscripts at the Pitts Theology Library, met with members of St. Mark United Methodist Church to discuss their archives. He outlined the wider contours of church archives management, offered them specific recommendations about the organization and preservation of their materials, and responded to questions from church leaders.

The Pitts Theology Library is the official archival repository for the North Georgia Conference, and holds materials relating to Methodism in the South generally, the history of Christianity in South Africa, British religious history, and hymnody. The department also manages the archives of the Candler School of Theology, the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, and the American Academy of Religion.

Mr. Presutti is available to other churches of the North Georgia Conference for such consultations and may be reached by email (rpresut@emory.edu) or telephone (404-727-1222).
