Biographical history
Chalmers United Church was established in 1925 upon the creation of The United Church of Canada from a union of the Methodist, Prebyterian, and Congregational denominations. The origin of this congregation is from Chalmers Presbyterian Church that was established in 1911. In 1928, Calder United Church (formerly Calder Methodist Church) joined with Chalmers United to form one congregation under the name of Chalmers United Church. Chalmers United Church existed until 1994 when it amalgamated with Castle Downs United Church to form the new congregation of Chalmers-Castle Downs United Church.

Custodial history
Records deposited under Accession Number PR 1975.387 were acquired sometime prior to 1975; however, there is no surviving record of the details. In 1975, the Conference entered into a permanent loan agreement with the Provincial Archives of Alberta for the physical custody and control of the holdings of the Conference Archives and the records were relocated to the PAA in that same year. Records received after 1975 have come from the congregation, church members, or officers of the Presbytery or the Conference.
