Title: United Methodist Church (U.S.) North Georgia Conference district records, 1869-2000.

This collection consists of records created by various organizations that existed on the district level of the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church, as well as the preceding denominations, the Methodist Episcopal Church (M.E.C.), the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (M.E.C., S.), and the Methodist Church. The majority of the collection consists of charge conference records maintained at the district level, with the bulk dating from 1960 to 1990. Additional material includes account ledgers, committee reports, correspondence, general office files, loose photographs and albums, and scrapbooks. The activities of women within the church are documented in this collection by the records of the Woman's Home Missionary Society and the Woman's Missionary Society, as well as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. The records of the Oxford (1875-1931), South Atlanta (1878-1931), and North Atlanta (1924-1936) district level organizations of these societies contain information about foreign and domestic missionary work and the temperance movement. Of interest are the contents of the miscellaneous folder (1894-1931), which contains material concerning missions to Malay and the island of Sumatra, which is now part of the Republic of Indonesia. Researchers should be aware that district boundaries changed over time. Often a file contained records for an overlapping time period for a single church or charge. These records were not separated into different files. Instead, the records were filed with the newer district. Researchers are therefore advised look for records in both the former and current districts.

Information about ministerial qualifications, appointments, and disciplinary action is included in the Clergy series (1707-1976).

Title: United Methodist Church (U.S.) North Georgia Conference board and agency records, 1830-1983.

This collection contains the records of several boards and agencies of the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church, as well as the preceding denominations, the Methodist Episcopal Church (M.E.C.), the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (M.E.C., S.), and the Methodist Church. In each case the organization existed for the purpose of overseeing specific areas of work for the entire conference. Activities prominently featured in this collection include benevolent aid, community outreach, and missionary work. Several agencies assisted pastors and their families in time of need. Most notable within the collection are the Bishop's Fund, the Fund of Special Relief, and the Preacher's Aid Society, whose activities are recorded for the years 1830 to 1943 through their financial and administrative records. Among the various outreach programs, the Sunday School Society contains the most material. The societies' work for the period 1852 to 1930 is established in a variety of records. Considerably less material is available for the Council on Ministries and Asbury Hills Home for the Aged, Inc., the majority of which is financial, and ranges from 1968 to 1979. Missionary work for the period 1830 to 1951 is well documented within the collection, with the exception of a gap from 1866 to 1889. This may be due to chaos following the Civil War or that these records did not survive. The activities of women within the conference are known through the records of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society and the Woman's Missionary Society for the period 1878 to 1931 and 1937. Additional subjects of interest in the series include the United Methodist Children's Home, conference legal transactions from 1841 to 1908, the merger with the Central Jurisdictional Conference, temperance activities for the years 1964 to 1965, and politics and current events in the Atlanta area from 1898 to 1904.

Smith, John Owen, 1902-. John Owen Smith papers, 1921-1996.

Title: John Owen Smith papers, 1921-1996.

The papers of John Owen Smith document his years as a B.D. student at Yale Divinity School, his pastoral appointments in South Carolina, and his time as Bishop of the Atlanta area of the Methodist Church (later the United Methodist Church). The collection includes correspondence, subject files, sermons, and notebooks from all phases of Smith's career. Smith presided over the Atlanta area during one of the most tumultuous phases of his church's history. In 1968 the Methodist Church merged with the Evangelical United Brethren Church. The terms of the merger required that the Central Jurisdiction (which consisted entirely of black churches) be abolished, and that all annual conferences be integrated. Smith's files, particularly his correspondence, illustrate the strong leadership he provided during the merger of the black Georgia Conference with the historically white North and South Georgia Conferences. Also of note are Smith's correspondence files regarding the 1972 General Conference of the United Methodist Church, which was held in Atlanta.
