GSP Member Tour: Moravian Archives
The Moravian Archives in Bethlehem holds the records of the Moravian Church in America, Northern Province. These records concern the history of Moravians in North America beginning in 1740. Its holdings include records of the administrative boards, many active and inactive congregations, educational institutions, and individuals. Our tour will include a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the climate-controlled vaults of the Moravian Archives, where everything from church registers of Moravian congregations to letters from George Washington and Benjamin Franklin to the handwritten memoirs of eighteenth-century newcomers to North America were preserved. Visitors will have an opportunity to learn more about the process in which these materials are catalogued and made accessible to researchers worldwide.
