Episcopal Project

The episcopal project's purpose is to help episcopal churches and organizations protect their history and to help episcopal church use its history to care for its people now and into the future. By providing expertise and means for immediate and long-term care of their historical records, individual stories, and sacred spaces, we seek to create tools and digital infrastructure that serves the episcopal church and its congregations. We give special attention to church records and individual stories at the greatest risk of being lost due to the age of our elders, locations in areas of environmental threat or disaster, and the displacement of people and records due to church closures, and the consolidation of churches in rural and urban environments. In addition, we focus on preserving and protecting records and recording stories that reflect the full history of the episopal church, including those of people and places that may not have received warranted attention to date.
