Abstract

The records consist of correspondence, missionary reports, financial reports, pamphlets, and newspaper clippings. They primarily represent the central office of Corresponding Secretary and Assistant Treasurer and reflect both the domestic and foreign enterprises of the Union from 1862 to 1884. The records reflect most thoroughly the Union's domestic missions in Cincinnati and Louisville; the foreign missions in Italy, Mexico, and Chile, as well as the many and varied evangelical efforts in France; the reorganization of 1884; and the relationship of the AFCU with individual denominations and with other interdenominational benevolent societies.
