Atlantic Baptist Archives

The Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada’s (CBAC) Atlantic Baptist Archives preserves records of Baptist Churches in Atlantic Canada. Acadia University has an agreement with CBAC to house and provide access to the Atlantic Baptist Archives. Records deposited to the Atlantic Baptist Archives remain the property of individual churches or the CBAC. Most records date from the late 1800s into the 21st century.

The Atlantic Baptist Archives at Acadia holds administrative records, and not Baptist marriage, death, or baptism documents. For this reason, the Baptist Archives are not a good source of genealogical information. The records here document the business and history of the churches (i.e., minutes, annual reports, bulletins, etc.) – none of which have many details about the members of the congregation.

Researchers interested in Baptist churches outside of Atlantic Canada should contact McMaster Divinity College’s Canadian Baptist Archives.
