The records comprise minutes from WMS/ALCW administrative bodies' meetings occurring from 1895-1962. They include primarily Executive Board and Executive Committee minutes, but in some instances were additional minutes from other WMS committees are included. Minutes from 1895-1904 are written in Swedish. Minutes after 1904 are written primarily in English. Until 1922 all minutes are handwritten in bound notebooks. From 1922-1962 minutes are typewritten on looseleaf pages originally kept in binders. Up until 1957 minutes are arranged in chronological order and Executive Board and Executive Committee minutes are filed together. Starting with 1957 minutes are separated into the different administrative bodies and then are arranged chronologically. In box 8 is a duplicate set of minutes from October 1958- December 1962. These appear to be the original copies and are arranged only in chronological order. Indexes are included for minutes from 1923, 1939-1945, and 1951-1954. Examples of subjects contained in the minutes are, fundraising for construction of a hospital for women and children in Rajahmundry, India; discussions pertaining to the creation of the WMS missionary publication, Mission Tidings; and steps taken in the process of recruiting and supporting women to be missionaries. Minutes from the final years of the organization also include meetings regarding the reorganization of women's groups within the church and the creation of the new auxiliary, the Augustana Lutheran Church Women. The records are arranged chronologically.
