• Parish Records to Archive - This document contains a listing of the items accepted by the Provincial Archives. Please Note: The Archives does NOT accept financial records from parishes outside of the annual financial statements included with annual reports. Please do not send receipts, invoices, ledgers, offering envelopes, or other such records to the Archives. For more information about the retention of financial records, please refer to the Treasurer's Handbook.

Anglican records (including completed parish registers) for the dioceses of Athabasca and Edmonton may be kept by the parish for up to 20 years, after which time they should be permanently housed in the Provincial Archives of Alberta at 8555 Roper Road, Edmonton.

To look for a record, please contact the parish office first. If the parish no longer has the record onsite, please contact the Provincial Archives at 780-427-1750.

The Diocese of Edmonton Synod Office does not keep archival records for parishes. 

If you have questions about the Archives or need clarity about whether an item may or may not be archived, please email the Synod Office.
