My name is Joseph Kerry and I’m reaching out on behalf of Bible Rescue, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing family Bibles—Bibles that contain handwritten genealogical records, personal notes, or family history.

These Bibles are more than religious texts—they are irreplaceable historical artifacts that tell the story of generations. Unfortunately, many are lost through estate sales, discarded in downsizing, or left in storage. Our mission is to recover these Bibles, preserve the records inside, and reconnect them with living descendants or provide them with a new, respectful home.

We’re currently inviting organizations like yours to partner with us in this effort. If you come across family Bibles—or if your members have any they’d like to donate—we would be honored to receive them. We can often reimburse shipping costs (especially via USPS Media Mail), and we make every effort to preserve both the physical book and the stories within. We will also let you know when the family Bible has found a new home.

You can learn more about us and search our growing online database at biblerescue.org

Please feel free to share this opportunity with your members, staff, or community. If you have any questions please let me know.

Thank you for the important work you do in preserving history. We’d love to partner with you to ensure that these family treasures are not lost to time.

Warm regards,
Joseph Kerry
