Church Recorders are The Arts Society volunteers who make records of the contents of our national churches, thereby promoting the recognition and preservation of the rich artistic heritage to be found in places of worship of all religions. The items are described in detail and their history researched. All the material is then compiled into a book illustrated with photographs and drawings. This is presented to the church, and copies are sent to national institutions.

The Arts Society Stirling & Forth Valley was the first Scottish society to engage in Church recording with their Record of the Church of the Holy Rude in Stirling. This was followed by Records of Lecropt, Gargunnock, Kincardine in Menteith and Holy Trinity Stirling. An emergency Record was also produced for Kilmadock Church in Doune which was being closed and sold.
