ARCHIVES AND HISTORY

Archives of United Methodism

The East Ohio Conference and the West Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church have merged their archival collections at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware. The merged Archives of Ohio United Methodism is located at Beeghly Library in the Special Collections Department.

The collection functions as an archival and historical repository and research center. Items which represent the heritage of The United Methodist Church in Ohio from its inception up to and including the present day will be selected. Primary emphasis is on the East and West Ohio Conferences with other materials maintained from antecedent conferences. The Archives Center has several collections:

  • Books about the history of United Methodism in general
  • Manuscripts and conference proceedings relevant to the history of Ohio United Methodism
  • Artifacts, photos, and other museum objects of good quality that depict the history of United Methodism in Ohio
  • Publications of The United Methodist Church
  • Local church history files
  • Records of closed and abandoned churches
  • Newspapers, journals, and periodicals including Western Christian Advocate, Ladies' Repository, Der Christliche Apologete, Haus und Herd, Der Christliche Botschafter, Methodist History
  • Personal papers and diaries, including J.B. Finley letters, Bishop Thomas A. Morris' papers, and the Roy Leedy Evangelical collection
