Designed for those who manage, preserve and write Presbyterian history, the seminar will be open to any Presbyterian interested.

During the annual seminar, slated for April 25-29, 2004, the Historical society will feature workshops on Presbyterian history, oral history, researching and writing church history, managing and conserving church records, disaster planning, exhibiting historical records and artifacts, and planning anniversary celebrations.
