History
The Verschoyle Phillip Memorial Archives were established to create a safe and secure central repository of records created by the churches, clergy, parishioners, and general Synod activities of the Huron Diocese.
Geographical and cultural context
The Anglican Diocese of Huron encompasses a large section of Southwestern Ontario; it spans from Pelee Island to Tobermory (south to north) and from Brantford/Six Nations to Lake Huron (east to west). This area historically includes over 340 churches, of which roughly 130 are still active today.
Mandates/Sources of authority
Canon Law compels the churches in the Diocese of Huron to transfer their historical records to the Archives for safekeeping and to make them accessible to interested researchers.
