We are committed to preserving and making accessible the story of Lutherans and Lutheranism in Australia and New Zealand, irrespective of affiliation. Lutheran Archives gathers and preserves these stories from all over Australia and the Pacific – wherever the church is involved. We enable others to encounter these stories through research, so they can share their stories and experiences of love co
ming to life. A wide variety of people access these records: congregations, family historians, academic researchers, creative artists and filmmakers. These records help people to write congregation histories, fill gaps in family trees, understand our cultural diversity, further Aboriginal language research, and restore identity. The power of these records cannot be overestimated. By depositing records at Lutheran Archives, the stories of your ministries can be encountered by members of the church and public, told and disseminated to a myriad of audiences. We are able to turn your records deposited at Lutheran Archives into new ministries by providing and enabling access to them.
