Preserving the Future
The Episcopal Project is a non-profit whose mission is to help Episcopal churches, dioceses, and organizations preserve and protect their history for future generations.
We offer consultation, digitization, cataloguing and archiving.
We help Episcopal congregations catalog, digitize, and protect their history. At the heart of what we do is the Digital Archive, customized to make digitized church and parish assets accessible and secure.
The Digital Archive is a searchable, digital assets catalogue that balances usability with privacy. It is custom built to serve Episcopal churches and dioceses.
The Digital Archive is online. Some content is accessible to all while other content is available to the client only. Privacy of records is determined by the client.
