Description

The Virginia Conference is unquestionably the most complex and the most richly historic of any conference in Methodism. After all, the current Virginia Conference of The United Methodist Church is the successor to seven denominations and 38 conferences. Preserving the record of this historic conference is the task of the Conference Archives, housed in the Virginia Conference Center. The archives contain a rich treasury of artifacts and records from the history of the Conference, its churches, and its people.

That record includes the minutes of the predecessor conferences — admittedly with some gaps — and the current Virginia Conference. In fact, the archives collection includes the leather-bound, handwritten minutes of the first 10 conferences of American Methodism — 1773 to 1783.
