Histories of Religious Congregations

St. Louis County Library has an extensive collection of histories of St. Louis religious congregations. These books were typically created by the congregations to help celebrate a milestone such as a 75th or 100th Anniversary.

No two of the histories are identical as to content or scope. Some focus on the role of the various pastors or rabbis, others the lay leaders. Often there are pictures of religious leaders and various groups and committees. Sometimes a pictorial directory of the congregation is included.

The Special Collections Department Staff is creating every name indexes for these books. The links below will guide you to the index for an individual church or synagogue.

Photocopies of these articles are available from Special Collections. This is a work-in-progress. Watch for additional congregations to be added.

Indexes are available for the following publications about religious congregations:
