Archives

HERE TO SERVE

But the Archives is more than a repository of official records. It also receives the personal papers and materials that are donated by hundreds of individuals. These materials received from pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and lay people open up new windows on many aspects of Nazarene life and provide different angles of vision and understanding.

The collections exist in a variety of forms—letters, microfilm, photographs, home movies and motion film productions, audio records and tapes, and diaries—and in other formats. The oldest materials in the Archives include early issues of The Guide to Christian Perfection—the mid-19th century holiness paper. The most recent holdings include the latest issue of Holiness Today.

Whether you are writing a research paper, exploring your congregation’s history, preparing to celebrate a church anniversary, or planning a congregational archive, the Nazarene Archives is here to serve you.
