Records [1944-1958]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/301602145

This series comprises records related to the work of the Joint Commission on a Common Hymnal, a cooperative body of representatives of eight Lutheran church bodies in the United States charged with creating a new hymnal for use by these church bodies. The records date from 1944-1958. Those in the bound volumes came from Dr. Luther D. Reed, chairman of this commission and also the Joint Commission on a Common Liturgy. The other records in this series came from PA 57/1 Dr. E.E. Ryden Papers. Dr. Ryden was a member of the joint commission working on the hymnal. These records as well as Dr. Reed's records were generated during the course of work on the common hymnal. Subject matter in these records includes hymns texts and well as tunes. In terms of records types, there are meeting minutes and agenda, handwritten and typewritten business correspondence, articles, topical reports, progress reports, sheet music, and proof sheets. Correspondence is written by or to Dr. Reed and pertains to the work of the commission. In addition to the general work of the commission, it also received suggestions and requests for specific tunes and hymn text to be included in the new hymnal. These suggestions and requests came from church headquarters, synods, conference, and individuals. It should not be assumed that records in the bound volumes represent a complete accounting of all record types and subject matter during the twelve years the commission conducted its work. In some cases the bound volumes only contain what is referred to as "sampling" of certain subject matter. In one of these cases where only a sampling was included, additional textual studies separated from PA 57/1 were added to this series. Records are arranged by subject, but in terms of arrangement within the bound volumes, each is divided into titled sections. The container list include a citation for the contents that includes box, bound volume number, section number, and a contents list for that section.
