Since 1978, the Archive Commission of the Swiss Mennonite Conference (SMC) has maintained a historical archive with library in the Jeanguisboden chapel (and in the external depot in Cormoret). As the Anabaptist Heritage Foundation is planning to acquire the Jeanguisboden building, the question arises as to whether the historical collections of the SMC should be transferred to the newly established Foundation. At this year’s Delegates’ Assembly on 16.03.2024, nothing was decided in this regard, as Charly Gerber, board member of the SMC, explained on inquiry. However, Nicolas Gerber, Secretary of the Archive Commission and Vice-President of the Anabaptist Heritage Foundation, added that the Archive Commission would be considering the future of the Archive and Library of the SMC in the coming months.
