- Prologue
- The Chairman of the Committee appointed by the Primate, the Rt. Rev. G.B. Snell, reported that a good discussion had resulted from this Committee's meeting with Dr. F.A. Peake and Dr. T.R. Millman, who had presented their reasons why they felt a full-time Archivist-Historian was needed. The Committee felt that the NEC should be informed tha the Church is under a great debt to Dr. Millman for the amazing amount of work he has done during the past ten years. He has the work well organized and has collected a great deal of material. The Committee recommends the appointment of a full-time Archivist; that the present physical facilities at Church House should suffice for anywhere between five to ten years, and that it would appear the total amount required for 1967 should be in the neighbourhood of $20,000 rather than the $17,000 presently requested.
- During the ensuing discussion, it was noted that the resolution passed at General Synod had stated, "That the proposal of the Archives Committee dealing with the appointment of a full-time Archivist-Historian be referred to the National Executive Council for consideration, and report to the next General Synod in 1967." In view of the possibility that Dr. Millman may be on sabbatical leave in 1966-1967, the question of whether it would be possible to secure a part-time Archivist was raised. A retired man with past experience in this field might be secured until General Synod meets and reaches a decision.
- Text of motion
- That the report of the Primate's Special Committee to consider a full-time Archivist-Historian be received and that it be referred to the Budget Committee for consideration for the 1968 budget in anticipation of favourable action being taken by the 1967 General Synod. In the meantime, the work is to be continued under a part-time arrangement. CARRIED
