Covenant Archive and Historical Library

The Covenant Archive operates under the supervision of the denomination’s Commission on Covenant History. The primary purpose of the archive is to preserve and make available records of the Evangelical Covenant Church, but holdings also include literature in the fields of history, Swedish Americana, and other denominations of Swedish origin. Among its treasures is a copy of the Gustav Vasa Swedish Bible, published in 1541. Much of the material written before 1925 is in Swedish. The archives of the Swedish-American Historical Society are a unique collection of Swedish Americana. The resources of both archives are available to students.
