The Covenant Archives and Historical Library contains the administrative records of the Evangelical Covenant Church and North Park University.  Collections include the correspondence, minutes, and reports of various denominational and University departments, as well as the records of numerous individual Covenant churches. Of note are microfilmed records of 355 Covenant churches founded before 1930. Personal papers of individuals include manuscripts, correspondence, diaries, and other documentary material. In addition, the Archives has extensive collections of indexed photos, audio and video tapes, and microfilms which document the activities of North Park and the Covenant Church. The Historical Library, of approximately 3,000 monographs and periodicals, includes the published works of the denomination, Covenant authors, and Swedish-language newspapers relating to our history. Much of the material written before 1930 is in the Swedish language.
