Minutes 1887-1916.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48104715

This series consists of minutes from regular and special meetings of the General Literature Committee of the WHFMS. Minutes are for meetings held from 1887 to 1916. There are no minutes available for 1879-1886 in this series. Minutes include requests for the printing of particular leaflets and pamphlets, quarterly treasurer reports, monthly schedules for Mission Studies topics, reports on appropriation of funds from the Executive Committee, and a record of any correspondence received. They also contain a record of actions taken with regards to the creation and printing of various mission publications. The minutes are handwritten and were in bound notebooks. After accessioning, the covers were removed. The pages themselves appear to be in relatively good condition, but some deterioration is beginning to occur, especially on page corners and what was once the spine of the notebook. Care should be taken with their handling. In addition to the minutes, there is a copy, given to the General Literature Committee, of a typewritten report of a Committee on Exhibit meeting from 1906. This report pertains to decisions made for an exhibit at the 1907 WHFMS convention. Files are arranged chronologically.
