Margaretta P. Childs African American church records project, ca. 1940-1985 (bulk 1984-1985)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/69401492

These materials constitute the working files of Margaretta P. Childs's unsuccessful project to collect and house the records of Charleston's black churches at the South Carolina Historical Society. The collection contains mostly photocopied correspondence from Childs to various ministers re church records and brief histories of some of the churches. Also included are photocopies of many WPA church surveys (1936) for the Charleston area, which include address, building description, listings of any known records and erection dates for each church, as well as programs of yearly meetings and church services. Of note is a photocopied letter (1908) from Arthur L. MacBeth and a musical program (1940) from the Centenary (Church) Players.
