Cultural Archive of Modern Paganism Inc

Mission Statement

The Cultural Archive of Modern Paganism exists to preserve, interpret, and promote the history and culture of the contemporary Pagan community as it exists in the United States. Through the acquisition of historical evidence and ongoing research, we will document our community and its unique cultural and spiritual nature. Our collections will be held in a digital repository, available in its entirety to researchers, with curated informative and educational materials made available to the public through our website. In these ways we seek to promote the discipline of Pagan studies and add to our community’s sense of identity by providing access to the foundations of its past.

Access to the PAST creates the foundation for DREAMS of the FUTURE

In 2023 the Cultural Archive of Modern Paganism (CAMP) incorporated as a non-profit entity to be able to continue the work started with the Wiccan Church of Minnesota in 2020. Within our first year CAMP received two Legacy Amendment grants from the Minnesota Historical Society. These grants allowed us to dive back in to collecting oral histories and laying the foundation to make our document archive available online. As our second year comes to a close we stand at the cusp of bigger and greater things. The work to make our collections public is slow, and far from glamorous, but through our efforts we will continue to work towards our goals to better preserve the past and serve our community.
