Predecessor Methodist Denominations
We no longer accept donations of the Book of Discipline unless needed to fill a gap in our collection.
The Heritage Center is home to several collections that provide connections to predecessor denominations of today’s United Methodist Church. While most are specific to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, we also have materials related to the Methodist Protestant Church, the Evangelical United Brethren, the Blue Ridge-Atlantic Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Central Jurisdiction, and General Minutes of the Methodist Episcopal Church prior to the organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in 1844. Women’s organizations such the Women’s Missionary Society, the Women’s Home Missionary Society, the Women’s Missionary Council, the Women’s Society of Christian Service and others are represented as well.
