CHURCH RECORDING
Church Recorders
They produce records of the contents of places of worship,
describing items accurately and researching the history of these where
possible. Church Recorders operate nationwide and are
interdenominational. Illustrated copies of the work are presented to
the church or chapel, and further copies are held by the national
institutions and form part of a heritage archive.
They are members of NADFAS who give their time and energy to help preserve our heritage.
They have commitment, enquiring minds, discipline and enthusiasm.
They are individuals with the ability to work as part of a team.
They are people who find the work stimulating and rewarding.
Training
You do not need to have in depth knowledge of the areas
covered as training is given by experienced Church Recorders and
experts in the relevant fields. We have an ongoing programme of
training which operates at national and local levels to maintain a high
standard of work.
