Registration

Users will be asked to register when visiting the Archives. Registration forms can be found at the reference desk. The information collected in the forms will not be used for any purpose other than its intended use and in adherence to The United Church of Canada’s privacy statement.

Users, new and returning, will be asked to fill in a ledger book when visiting the Archives. This allows us to track visits to the reading room for security and statistical purposes.

Requesting material

In order to view archival material, users must complete a Retrieval Request Form available at the reference desk.  The form will require users to fill in their name, date and the accession number, box and file number of the requested material. For preservation and security reasons, the number of items given to the user at one time will be limited.

The majority of our audio-visual material is held offsite. Please contact the Archives for more information.

Citing Archival Sources

Researchers should take note of the material they are using for their research so it can be easily retrieved by Archives staff at a later date. Please visit our citation guide for information on how to cite archival material.
