Peace Mennonite Church archival records at the University of Kansas Kenneth Spencer Research Library

Below is the link to our PMC archives. We have a storied history here in Lawrence, and many, many people have impacted who we are today. The collection provides information about the Peace Mennonite Church and its predecessors from its founding in the late 1970s through the late 2020s.

Here’s the online finding aid for the PMC collection

If you expand the links on the right side of the page under “Collection organization,” you’ll see the extent of what was collected previously. Or, you can look at the black/blue tabs near the top of the page to learn more details about the collection.
