The Peart-Binns Episcopal Biography Archive

John Peart-Binns specialises in writing the biographies of Anglican bishops. He gathered this material in this course of his research. It covers over 400 bishops of the Church of England and of the other churches of the Pan-Anglican Communion, including articles and letters, newspaper cuttings, diocesan newsletters, obituary notices, and recollections by colleagues and others who knew the individuals concerned. The archive will be a guide to the internal organisation of the Church of England and a source on trends in theology. It also reflects the involvement of many of these bishops in social welfare, politics and legislation.

Unfortunately access to the Archive will be very limited until it is fully catalogued. More details about the Archive:

• Collection-level description (PDF format).
• Collection-level entry on the Library catalogue.

For further information, and to find out whether any part of the Archive can be made available to you, please contact the Special Collections staff.
