Church Records
About
Manuscripts & Folklife Archives collections include records (originals or photocopies) from churches of many denominations in Kentucky and elsewhere. Typically, these records consist of minutes of church meetings and registers of members, but may also include other information such as the church constitution, articles of faith, rules of decorum, and lists of pastors, elders, deacons, baptisms, marriages and deaths.
Clicking on a church name below will send you to a page in TopSCHOLAR®, WKU's digital repository, from which you can download a finding aid describing the records we hold for that particular church. You can visit us to look at the church records, or, unless they are fragile or protected by copyright, we can send you copies of requested records for a fee. Questions? Call 270-745-6434 or e-mail mssfa@wku.edu
