Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (Ottawa, Ont.) : A Presbyterian congregation was established at Bytown in 1828 and in the same year St. Andrew's Church was erected on its present site, purchased from Nicholas Sparks. Its first minister, the Rev. John Cruikshank, received a call in 1829 and, in 1831, ordained the first three elders to act as a Kirk Session, the body responsible for the spiritual side of church life in a Presbyterian church. The Temporal Committee was consituted in about 1833 to manage the business affairs of the church, and was incorporated in 1868. Then in 1890 the Glebe Trustees were also incorporated to administer the proceeds of a Crown grant which had been made to the church in 1837. Of the many voluntary organizations under the supervision of the Kirk Session which have been formed, and in many cases dissolved, over the years, only a few have left substantial traces in the form of archives. The present church, apart from extensions, was constructed in 1872.

Custodial history:

In 1952 the National Archives of Canada microfilmed a baptismal register, 1863-1942, of St. Andrew's Church. In 1972 the National Archives agreed to accept the records of the church on deposit. On the basis of that agreement, material has been periodically transferred by the church, in an on-going manner, up to 1984. Volumes 219-222, containing indexes of St. Andrew's members serving in the armed forces during the Second World War, which are of uncertain provenance, were added to the collection in 1980.

De-accessioned to the City of Ottawa Archives, 1 April 2015.

Arrangement note:

St. Andrew's collection of publications includes fairly complete collections of such periodicals as the church's Annual Reports and "Church Magazine", as well as a number of pamphlets and other miscellaneous items. The greater part of the collection, of which particulars are available in Finding Aid No. MSS850, has been transferred to the National Archives of Canada Library.
