Rhode Island Episcopal Church Records |
The University of Rhode Island
serves as the official depository of non-current and historical records of
many of the Episcopal churches located in Rhode Island. In 1976,
Bishop John Seville Higgins deposited the records of St. John's Cathedral
and the records of defunct Episcopal churches (which had been transferred
to the Cathedral building) to the University of Rhode Island.
Subsequently, other Episcopal churches have deposited their records at the
University of Rhode Island on a voluntary basis.
