Minutes 1879-1919 [microform].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702212845

This series consists of handwritten minutes from monthly meetings of the Executive Committee held from 1879 to 1919. Minutes include a record of particular reports given, but the reports themselves are not included in the minutes. In regards to the treasurer's reports, some minutes contain a notation referring to a file number (i.e., see file 2). These records do not contain those files or the treasurer's reports. The minutes also included motions made in regard to particular orders of business. Motions involved, among other things, changes to the WHFMS constitutions, authorizations for payments, requests for correspondence, and recommendations of particular women to be sent as missionaries. These minutes were at one time in bound notebooks, but the covers were removed. The pages are somewhat fragile as deterioration has begun on what was the spine of each notebook. Each folder contains approximately one to three years' worth of minutes. Care should be taken with the handling of the individual pages. Files are arranged chronologically.
