Scope & content

This Register describes the records of St. Peter's and St. Andrew's Episcopal Church of Providence, Rhode Island. The records were transferred from the church to the Special Collections Department of the University of Rhode Island Library in 1990. The records are in generally good physical condition. A few items show the effects of water or fire damage, probably incurred during the destruction of St. Peter's Church by fire in 1971.

St. Peter's and St. Andrew's Church was established in 1972 by the merger of St. Peter's Church of Manton (Johnston) and St. Andrew's Church of Providence. The majority of the records in this collection were generated by the merged parish of St. Peter's and St. Andrew's . There are some records in the collection which pre-date the 1972 merger and were created by either of the parishes. The records are arranged by subject and it is possible to find records of all three parishes under one subject heading. In Series III, the parish registers are arranged by specific parish.
