Cash Books, 1893-1897, 1902-1906.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49884235

Two leather-bound cash books recording Women's Missionary Society (WMS) income and expenditures are the records that comprise this series. These records were generated by the treasurer of the WMS and reflect the income generated by contributions from various groups and individuals, expenses for mission projects, and general expenses incurred during the regular course of business. The first cash book contains handwritten entries for 1893-1897, and the second cash book contains handwritten entries for 1902-1906. The gap in the records from 1898-1901 cannot be accounted for. The cash book containing entries for 1893-1897 is written in Swedish. It contains entries listed under "Inkomster" (income), and entries listed under "Utgifter" (expenses). Contributions from individuals and congregational groups were recorded as income. Expenses were amounts provided to particular mission projects and costs incurred for business expenses. The treasurer kept separate tallies of income and expenses until May 31 each year when the fiscal year ended. The total amount for expenses was then subtracted from the total amount of income and the remaining balance of cash on hand would be carried over as income for the next fiscal year. The second cash book contains entries for 1902-1906 written in English and in addition to income and expense listings, contains balances for funds labeled "hospital," "home missions," "foreign missions," and "Puerto Rico." Starting in May 1904 there is a separate entry page for expenditures. At the end of a fiscal year, it appears the expenditures were subtracted from the total of new income and existing fund balances. The remaining amount was then put back into the fund balances for the next fiscal year. The records are arranged chronologically. Additional financial information is available in AUG 40/7/2, ALCW General Treasurer Ledger, for Augustana Lutheran Church Women (ALCW) from 1959-1962.
