The Archives house the record groups for Bryn Athyn College, the Academy of the New Church Secondary Schools, and the New Church (the General Church of the New Jerusalem). Additionally, they also house a small number of records about the Borough of Bryn Athyn. These record groups are not yet entirely searchable online, several of the smaller manuscript and historical collections are available. The Archives also house collections on the history of the New Church (including its previous forms), the community of Bryn Athyn and prominent members of the Church and community.
During regular hours of operation, there is an archives staff member on duty to assist you in locating material for research. In addition, it may be possible to make an appointment to visit the archives outside these hours. Contact the Archivist to make arrangements.
