ELCA Resource Center
Welcome to the downloadable resources web page of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
If you're interested in ordering resources, we invite you to explore our ELCA eStore Catalog.
TIP: Start with the first filter "Topics" to sort the resources to find what you need.
Archives
The Archives of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America preserve, protect and make accessible the records of the ELCA, its predecessor church bodies, inter-Lutheran agencies and prominent leaders of the church. The resources listed below provide basic information to our much larger collection. The Archives catalog contains aids for finding processed collections, as well as brief records for unprocessed materials. For information on congregational microfilm, please contact the Archives directly. Many of those records are now indexed and available online through a partnership with www.archives.com.
