Scope & content

These records document the religious, administrative, and social activities of Church of the Advent and includes the document of consecration, church registers of services, births, marriages, and deaths, documents relating to the 100th anniversary event and special events in the parish, church registers, minutes of meetings of parish vestry and committees, financial and parochial reports. These records also include a collection of photographs consisting mainly of the parish rectors and church groupings. The records date from 1886-2005 but other than the church registers, there are gaps in the records. Also in the collection are micro cassette tapes of oral histories collected from parishioners as a history project in 2005.
