LOUISVILLE, Ky.--The Presbyterian Historical Society's 21st Annual Seminar 
on Local Church History has been set for April 20-23, 1999 at Montreat 
Conference Center in North Carolina. 
 
    Last year's seminar attracted 42 participants - the largest crowd ever. 
 
    The seminar is designed for congregational historians writing a church 
history for publication, anniversary celebrations or archives.  It is also 
intended for Presbyterian Women historians in congregations, synods and 
presbyteries. 
 
    Seminar workshops will focus on writing, researching and publishing.  A 
two-day workshop has been designed specifically for Presbyterian Women 
historians. 
 
    Other workshops will address such topics as preservation of church 
records and library books, disaster preparedness, oral history, exhibiting 
church treasures, using new digital technologies and photograph 
preservation. 
 
    The schedule will also allow time for more on-site research and 
consultations with Presbyterian Historical Society staff. 
 
    Information on the seminar is available by contacting Diana 
Ruby-Sanderson, Presbyterian Historical Society, P.O. Box 849, Montreat, NC
