The
Presbyterian Historical Society serves as the repository for materials
created by governing bodies and agencies of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.),
the antecedents of those governing bodies and agencies, and related and
ecumencial organizations, and the personal papers of prominent Presbyterians.
The creating body or its legal successor retains ownership of the records,
with the exception of organization records and personal paper collections,
which are legally owned by the society. The use of archival records entrusted
to the department is a privilege. The following restrictions on public
access were created in collaboration with the entities retaining ownership
of the records.
