Your support of the General Administration Fund apportionment supports the preservation of historical landmarks sites overseen by The General Commission on Archives and History.

At Archives & History we promote our heritage through fulfilling research requests from various parties, to speaking engagements, to webinars, online courses, podcasts, and so much more, we ensure that those in the pews, the seminaries, the pulpits, and beyond know what it means to be United Methodist.

We preserve our heritage with over six miles of linear shelving, we house the primary documentary record of our connection. We also care for a digital vault, an artifact’s vault, and a growing digital archive/exhibit.
