Methodist Archivists’ Handbook launch event: Manchester Central Library, 12 March 2025 (11am-3pm)

Calling all archivists, administrators and those caring for the records of the Methodist Church.

Join us for a special event bringing together archivists and administrators from across the Connexion to mark the launch of the Methodist Archivists’ Handbook.

You are warmly invited to Manchester Central Library on 12 March 11am – 3pm to celebrate the contribution volunteers and staff of the Methodist Church working to care for the records of the Church for the future. There will be copies of the printed handbook, presentations, lunch and cake included.

Please RSVP by 26 February to archives@methodistchurch.org.uk and an itinerary will follow.

The handbook is available online and is accompanied by a suite of easy to watch introductory videos: https://www.methodist.org.uk/for-churches/office-holders/archivists/
