Archives of the African Methodist Episcopal Church

The Archives of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church is a collection of historical documents and records related to the church, one of the oldest Black denominations in the United States. Established in 1816, it played a significant role in the African American community, providing spiritual guidance and advocating for social justice. The archives preserve materials such as church records, photographs, writings, and artifacts that document the AME Church's history, its leaders, and its impact on society. These resources are crucial for research, education, and understanding the church's contributions to religious and cultural life.
