Several agencies assisted pastors and their families in time of need. Most notable within the collection are the Bishop’s Fund, the Fund of Special Relief, and the Preacher’s Aid Society, whose activities are recorded for the years 1830 to 1943 through their financial and administrative records. Among the various outreach programs, the Sunday School Society contains the most material. The societies’ work for the period 1852 to 1930 is established in a variety of records. Considerably less material is available for the Council on Ministries and Asbury Hills Home for the Aged, Inc., the majority of which is financial, and ranges from 1968 to 1979. Missionary work for the period 1830 to 1951 is well documented within the collection, with the exception of a gap from 1866 to 1889. This may be due to chaos following the Civil War or that these records did not survive. The activities of women within the conference are known through the records of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society and the Woman’s Missionary Society for the period 1878 to 1931 and 1937. Additional subjects of interest in the series include the United Methodist Children’s Home, conference legal transactions from 1841 to 1908, the merger with the Central Jurisdictional Conference, temperance activities for the years 1964 to 1965, and politics and current events in the Atlanta area from 1898 to 1904.
This series is arranged alphabetically by name of organization, then alphabetically by type of material and, thereunder, chronologically.
