Financial Records 1932-1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52330708

This series comprises financial records from 1932-1960 pertaining to the American Lutheran Church (ALC) Board of Foreign Missions (BFM). The bulk of these records are copies of applications for appropriation submitted by the BFM to the ALC Board of Trustees, through the Department of Stewardship and Finance. Copies of applications exist for BFM budgets from 1942-1960. Prior to that time, applications were filed for the separate India and New Guinea missions. These applications provide an overall picture of the BFM budget situation from 1942-1960. Any original applications are assumed to be filed with Board of Trustees records. In addition to the individual applications, for each year there is also accompanying material providing further explanation for various aspects of the budget request. As stated previously, prior to 1942 applications were filed for the separate mission fields in India and New Guinea. This series does not have copies of applications for 1932-1939. For these years, there are only budget sheets for the New Guinea Mission. Also, there is no copy of an application for 1952, only typewritten copies of the budget request. There are two applications for 1957. One is for the original budget request and the other is an additional budget request for new work, a mission field in Ethiopia. Other material in this series includes balance sheets for the close of each year from 1955-1960. For a more complete picture of BFM year-end balance sheets, refer to the series ALC 16/3/3 Correspondence and Financial Records, Board of Foreign Missions, 1931-1960. It also has this budget information, but includes balance sheets for 1944-1954.
