Background

Scope and content:

Record Group 6 houses miscellaneous pamphlets, brochures, locally published books, flyers, programs, and narrative histories concerning the various churches in Arlington County. Most of the documents were created by the church and document church activities, anniversary celebrations, membership, leadership, or provide historical information about the church. The church historian or a long-time member of the church wrote several of the histories included in the collection. Some material in this collection are photocopies of original narratives.

This group of ephemera and histories currently measures approximately 1.5 linear feet and houses materials dating from the 1920s to the present. The collection documents many different churches and denominations in the Arlington area. This is an active record group which will continue to be updated by the staff of the Center for Local History.
