The Archives of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut is the official repository for records created by and about the Bishops of the Diocese of Connecticut, its related corporate organizational bodies, and individual Episcopalians and their affiliates. Our foremost requirement by canon is to keep a complete record of all the Episcopal Acts of the bishops. The mission of the ECCT Archives is to identify, collect, preserve, classify, and make available the records of the ongoing life and work of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut. The Archives also provides reference service to diocesan staff, clergy, laity and the general public. The ECCT Archives was created by resolution at diocesan convention in 1897, and its resources exist as a part of the broader mission to support community life and parish work in the Episcopal Church in Connecticut.
