Christ Church Preservation Trust will conduct conservation treatment on fragile early 18th century items considered critically important for the collection, and which are among the archives' most frequently-requested objects for research and exhibition. Conservation of the objects ensures their preservation for future generations of researchers and the approximately 350,000 people who visit Christ Church, Christ Church Burial Ground, and Neighborhood House each year. Christ Church's archives span a 300-year period, and provide insight into the formation of the United States along with the complicated relationship of religion, politics, and society in the 1700s.The archives are accessed by over 3,500 researchers annually and are a primary source of information for scholars researching early American religion, politics, architecture, and Revolutionary history.
