LOUISVILLE - The Presbyterian Historical Society's 26th annual Seminar on
Local Church History will take place at the Montreat Conference Center in
North Carolina from April 25-29, 2005.

	The seminar is designed for those who manage, preserve and write
Presbyterian history, particularly of their local congregations.

	It features workshops on Presbyterian history, oral history,
researching and writing a church history, managing and conserving church
records, disaster planning, exhibiting historical records and artifacts, and
planning anniversary celebrations.

	PHS offers two scholarships to attend the seminar for participants
from small churches (less than 250 members) which have been in existence for
more than 50 years and who demonstrate financial need.

congregations in the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic. The other scholarship is
awarded by PHS.
