Religious Education Association records, Addendum A, 1982-2003 (inclusive).

The papers document the history of the R.E.A. from 1982 to 2003, when the organization merged with Association of Professors and Researchers in Religious Education. They are an addition and accession for Record Group No. 74, which covered the years primarily from the founding of the organization in 1903 to 1982. There is some overlap and duplication in this collection, since it includes the complete newsletter, REACH, from its beginning in 1971, plus publications from the 75th anniversary in 1978 and some photographs from the earlier period.
