That rumor printed in the Layman is not true. Here's the official press release about it. http://www.pcusa.org/pcnews/2005/05170.htm -----Original Message----- From: Archives & Archivists [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bob Shuster Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 2:43 PM To: [log in to unmask] 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.
