http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48116285

This series consists of the minutes from the biennial conventions of the General Synod's Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society(WHFMS) from 1879 to 1919. The minutes generally include a listing of WHFMS officers, Executive Committee members, listings of standing committee members, the roll of delegates and visitors, the text of officer and committee reports, and resolutions considered and adopted. Minutes also contain a copy of the general WHFMS constitution and constitutions of the other General Synod missionary societies. There are three sets of minutes, handwritten, printed bound, and printed unbound. Handwritten minutes are in boxes 1 and 2 and are in fairly good condition. The minutes in box 2 have covers that are fragile so care should be taken with their handling. There are no handwritten minutes for 1887-1897. Minutes in boxes 3, 4, and 5 are bound and unbound printed copies. The pages are in good condition, but covers are fragile and deteriorating. Care should be taken in their handling, especially the bound copies. The printed, unbound minutes include only 1879-1909. In box 4 there is a bound copy of Lutheran Woman's Work copies of convention proceedings for 1911-1917. A complete set of minutes for 1879-1919 is available among the three sets.

5 boxes.
