The Anglican Archives Directory is a listing of Canadian Anglican Archives that acquire, preserve and provide appropriate access to diocesan archival records. Each Diocesan archives is responsible for retaining records created by the respective diocese and they also hold the historical parish records for each diocese which includes the parish birth, marriage and death records. Where noted some archival records are accessible at the local university or provincial archives. The Anglican General Synod Archives holds the records of the national office of the Anglican Church of Canada and they can assist in directing inquiries.
Genealogical enquiries requiring baptismal, marriage, or burial parish registers need to be addressed to the diocese in which the event took place.
