Custodial history
Records deposited under Accession Number 1975.387 were acquired sometime prior to 1975; however, there is no surviving record as to the details. In 1975, the Conference entered into a permanent loan agreement with the Provincial Archives of Alberta (PAA) for the physical custody and control of the holdings of the Conference Archives and the records were relocated to the PAA in that same year. The Conference retained the church registers until 1983 at which time they were transferred to the PAA under Accession Number 1983.285. Other deposits after 1975 have come from Knox-Metropolitan United Church. The records currently reside at the PAA.
