Preserving BUMC History

BUMC Web Admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:08:23 +0000

The Barrington United Methodist Church and the Barrington Area Library are partnering to put the church’s older records online. The church records are valuable both to our church family as well as to genealogists and anyone interested in the history of the Barrington area. The library is currently scanning the records. Completed records can be viewed on the library’s web site. The library is looking for volunteers to transcribe the older handwritten records. The work may be done at home with internet access plus Word and Excel 2007, or at the library. If you are interested in learning more about this volunteer opportunity please contact June Lee at the Barrington Area Library, 847-382-1300 x335.
