The Archives of the Church of Uganda

Order		Background		Specifications		Sections

The collection is divided into six sections:

Office of the Bishop of Uganda – CMS/NAC (1882-1961). These records trace the development of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) Uganda Mission and the Native Anglican Church (NAC) in Uganda, including the Uganda Diocese and the Diocese of the Upper Nile.

Education Secretary General – CMS/NAC (1936-1964). These records document the development and operations of the CMS/NAC schools and their governing bodies and their interaction with the Uganda Protectorate Education Department, which regulated education within Uganda.

General Secretary – CMS/NAC (1924-1963). The General Secretary served as administrator for the Bishop, so the records in this group are complementary to those found in the Office of the Bishop of Uganda and Education Secretary General. The CMS/NAC General Secretary also served as the Archdeacon of the Uganda Diocese.

Financial Secretary – CMS/NAC (1929-1963).

Archbishop's Office – COU (1960-1993). The Archbishop's Office replaced the Bishop's Office when the Church of the Province of Uganda was established in 1961. The Diocese's structure changed in the process of the transition from the Native Anglican Church to the Church of Uganda (COU) but many programs continued.

Provincial Secretary – COU (1960-1995). The Provincial Secretary replaced the General Secretary when the Church of the Province of Uganda was established in 1961. These records are complementary to the Archbishop's Office records in the Archbishop's Office.
