Association for Clinical Pastoral Education records, 1930-2005.

These records document ACPE's primary function of certifying and monitoring individuals and institutions that provide training in the field of pastoral care. They include correspondence, reports, memoranda, minutes, addresses, publications, photographs, and audio recordings. The records in this record group are primarily those produced or received by the Central Office. Basic documentation of regional operations is available but there is little coverage of individual supervisors, training centers, or seminaries, particularly for the post-merger years. The records for the period up to 1967 are primarily those of the Council for Clinical Training, Inc. (formerly known as the Council for Clinical Training of Theological Students, Inc.), one of the four antecedent bodies which merged to form the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education in 1967. Events which led toward the merger are well documented by correspondence, reports and records of meetings. Archives of the other three antecedent bodies and papers of major figures in the field of clinical pastoral education which further document the roots of ACPE are located in other repositories.
