Re: 19th century California Methodist Church archives?



The California-Nevada United Methodist Conference Archives are held at the
Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA.  The Archivist is Stephen Yale.
His phone number is 650-952-5177, email yale@sirius.com.  He really knows
his collection and all things Methodist in the Northern California area.

I forward this request for a patron not on the Listserv.

This patron called today seeking any and all materials relative to the
establishment and evolution of the Methodist Church located in Sonora,
California. The church is presently preparing for its 150th/sesquicentennial
and needs to learn more about its origins.

Established in 1852, no historic records seem to survive in Sonora, and so
far, the church has had no answer from the Methodist chancery. The county
historical society seems to have no records, and few if any historic
newspaper citations have been found. Any and all information would be
greatly appreciated on the part of the church congregation.

I suggested to the patron that perhaps someone at the Pacific Union School
of Theology in Berkeley, CA or elsewhere might know more or be able to help.

Please reply directly to the patron: <Frances Santos-deDios>

Thanks very much all!
