Overview
Since the middle of the 1800s, there have been several attempts to merge the Universalist and Unitarian Churches. See our timeline of significant dates in the merger process.
Below is a list of records related specifically to the Unitarian Universalist merger that occurred in 1961. These are not the only records that have to do with merger; in fact, many of the other records in this repository have to do with the merger in some way. The records listed below, however, relate to the merger in very specific ways.
Using the Collections
Because many collections are stored offsite, please place requests at least two business days in advance of your intended visit. (See Visit Special Collections.)
Every collection is identified with a bMS number. In most of the finding aids, the bMS number is followed by a slash and a box number. Please note the bMS number and box number of the collection you are interested in, and contact Research Services to inquire about the collection or to make an appointment.
