Organized in 1852, the Presbyterian Historical Society (PHS) is the oldest denominational archive in the United States. It serves as the national archive for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and many predecessor denominations.
Research Services developed and fielded a survey of Presbyterians in the PC(USA) in order to evaluate how the Presbyterian Historical Society can better fulfill its mission to collect, preserve, and share the story of the American Presbyterian and Reformed experience.
