Association of Professional Chaplains records, 1946-1996.

The bulk of the records in this collection concern the history of the College of Chaplains, formerly the Chaplains' Division of the American Protestant Hospital Association (APHA). The record group includes a book of APHA Chaplains' Division minutes dated 1946-1964; an incomplete run of conference proceedings from 1973-1983; and a file of various historical documents from both the APHA and the College of Chaplains from 1948 to 1991. There are several folders with material on the cooperation between the APHA and the College of Chaplains, which began in 1993 and culminated with the formation of the Association of Professional Chaplains in 1998. These include newsletters and annual meeting materials. Of particular interest are items related to the 50th anniversary of the College of Chaplains in 1996, including items from a display commemorating the anniversary, photographs, and programs from the 1996 annual conference. The record group also includes twelve VHS videotapes with recordings from 1993-1996. Included are recordings of annual conference sessions as well as oral history interviews of individuals who were leaders of the APC's predecessor organizations.
