About Our Collections
The ANC Archives collections detail the history of the Academy of the New Church schools, the General Church of the New Jerusalem (and its predecessors), the Bryn Athyn community, and prominent persons related to them. During the regular hours of operation there is an Archives staff member on duty to assist you in locating materials for research. In addition, it may be possible to make an appointment outside regular hours. It’s always a good idea to phone or email to verify that the archives will be open before making and in-person visit.
