The James R. Crumley Jr. Archives was created in response to the 1988 ELCA founding constitution, which called for the establishment of regional archives and the maintenance of congregation archives for each ELCA region. We serve Region 9, consisting of The Southeast and Caribbean.

 

We are a non-profit organization, mandated by - but not funded by - the ELCA. We rely on funding from the churches and synods who safeguard their materials here, donations from individuals, research fees, and grant monies.

​

Your donation to the Crumley Archives is vital to the upkeep of thousands of irreplaceable records dating to the 1800s and earlier. We thank you for your generosity. 

 

Sincerely,

 

The Staff at the Crumley Archives
