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.
