Westminster Baptist Church: Church Subject Files

Includes publications and documents which are not primarily correspondence, but document the church's history. Includes information about its association with the Baptist Union, maps, facilities information, reports, various publications, a modern church constitution, and trust deeds.

The archival finding aid for this collection was first begun by Miss Platt in 2012. Miss Platt, who married Jonathan Arnold, continued as the Hon. Archivist from 2012. Jonathan Arnold became pastor at Westminster Baptist Church in April 2016.

Arranged alphabetically.

The archive is available without restriction to current members at Westminster Baptist Church. For external researchers, the archives are readily available - with supervised access - on any period for which no person involved in the content is still in living memory (i.e., records which are 100+ years of age). Any exceptions to this may be provided on a case-by-case basis.

In the 1970s the church received a lot of archives from a former church member's family in the post, indicating these had been sitting in his attic.

Further accruals expected.
