That rumor printed in the Layman is not true.  Here's the official press
release about it.

Subject: [ARCHIVES] Closing of the Historical Foundation

Perhaps this has already been discussed on this lisytserv, but according
to an article in The Layman, the Montreat, North Carolina branch of the
Presbyterian Historical Society is to be closed.  Before the merger of
the Southern presbyterian Church into the Presbyterian Church (USA) this
fine repository was known as the Historical Foundation of the Southern
Presbyterian Church.  You can find the article on page 18 of the July
2006 issue of the newsletter, online at:
http://www.layman.org/layman/the-layman/2006/3-july-2006/july-2006-Layma
n-web.pdf


The Foundation has done excellent work for eighty years and I thought
some mention should be made on the listserv.  The instituion will be
greatly missed.

I have also gotton a couple of pictures of the closing sign on the front
door.  You can see these at:
