___________________________________________________
(Church)                            (City)                                 (State)

warrant and guarantee that we possess free and clear title to the documents here and after set forth and hereby convey to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), through its Presbyterian Historical Society the following (attach an inventory if necessary):

 

 

on a deposit basis (including future additions to the collection) to the Presbyterian Historical Society. This means that the church retains ownership and can request their return at any time if needed. I understand there is no transfer of ownership to the Presbyterian Historical Society with the signing of this agreement.

I understand that researchers who want to use any records less than 50 years old will need the written permission of our clerk of session.

I understand and agree that I will not hold the Presbyterian Historical Society liable for any damage to the documents while in the possession of the Presbyterian Historical Society due to circumstances beyond its control.

The Presbyterian Historical Society staff will review all materials for their historical value and, if we find items which do not fit our collection policy, we will return them to the church. We agree to receive these records, to house them in secure and environmentally sound conditions and to arrange for their processing and conservation according to accepted standards of archival procedure.
