The United Methodist Archives Center at Drew University houses many published and unpublished materials on global Methodism. The facility is home to both the Methodist Library and the archives of the General Commission on Archives and History of The United Methodist Church (GCAH). The GCAH is the official archival repository for The United Methodist Church. Its collection includes records from the various denominational agencies within the United Methodist tradition, and personal papers of several bishops, denominational leaders, and missionaries from the 19th and 20th centuries. Patrons can view all materials in the Wilson Reading Room.
