The 1978 merger of the two pre-existing Unitarian and Universalist societies brings together both scholarly and lay interest in the history of liberal religion. The society encourages the work of historical research, documentation, and preservation by local congregations. The society also publishes the Journal of Unitarian Universalist History. The library of the Harvard Divinity School, 45 Francis Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138, continues as a repository for official documents relating to both Unitarian and Universalist history

The UU Women's Heritage Society is a membership organization devoted to reclaiming, promoting, and celebrating the lives and accomplishments of Unitarian and Universalist women. We do this to draw courage and inspiration from our heritage, and enable our foremothers to take their rightful place in the ongoing story of Unitarian Universalism.


We accomplish these goals by offering programs, workshops, and worship services; disseminating information and educational materials through our newsletter and website (www.uuwhs.org); engaging local congregations in the recovery of their women's history; supporting independent research; and collaborating with other organizations on complementary projects.


In 2004, the UU Women's Heritage Society opened a library of 1,000-plus books and informational files at Bethany Union, 256 Newbury Street, Boston, which is the only library dedicated solely to UU women.
