St. Matthew's Episcopal Church

The records of St. Matthew's (before 1971) total three linear feet and date primarily from the mid-1920s. Although providing excellent documentation for the years since about 1927, the St. Matthew's series, except for an occasional program or brochure, does not include materials for the first eighty years of the church's existence. Happily, the collection contains published histories and commemorative programs, which help to fill in these missing years.

The St. Matthew's series has been divided into six subseries: Informational Files, Church Government, Pastors, Church Organizations, Publications, and Scrapbooks.

Informational Files

"Informational Files" consist of manuscript and printed histories written at various dates, commemorative programs, and newspaper clippings about church activities. Also included with this subseries are report documents that the church was required to submit to the state as a non-profit corporation, and to its denominational parent, the Diocese of Michigan.
