Franklin Jameson, Editor BALTIMORE!, UD., 0. a. A. INTRODUCTION. How little has been done to maHe more widely known the manuscript sources for American religious history is very apparent to any one who will run through such attempts as have been made at the compilation of either general or specific bibliographies for the history of the religious organizations and movements in America. In the thirteen volumes which comprise the American Church History Series, some twenty separate bibliographies are given, but in only five is there any reference to manuscript material ; here the data are for the most part general rather than detailed in the information they contain and as they total only about sixty printed lines it is obvious how meagre they are. In his monumental work entitled The Congregationalism of the Last Three Hundred Years as seen in its Literature, Dr. Henry M. Dexter printed the results of his exhaustive bibliographical researches upon that subject, yet his list of over seven thousand titles contained only two somewhat closely printed pages devoted to the brief account of the manuscript sources for Congregational history. In some other individual works, espe- cially in recent monographs, a few occasional notes are to be found referring to manuscript documents. Some of the more noteworthy manuscript collec- tions have been printed, and as it has been natural to point to these published volumes,, as more generally accessible and also more convenient for ordinary use, this may in part account for the relatively few references in print to the underlying sources. The present Inventory does not profess to be more than a contribution to the knowledge of the manuscript materials for American religious history; it does not attempt to bring together in a systematic way the materials relating to the history of any particular denomination or religious movement. Manu- scripts still in private possession have been passed by, but such as are deposited with any of the collections examined and are likely to remain permanently in their present locations, have been included, though they may still be the property of individual owners. The general scope of the Inventory might be shown more clearly if its title were expanded into the form. Inventory of the Unpublished Material for American Religious History to be Found in Various Repositories in the United States, Especially in the Archives of the Governing Bodies of the Various Protestant Churches and of their Missionary Societies, and in the Libraries of their Theological Seminaries, Colleges, and Histor- ical Societies. It is a list of material to be found in definite types of ar- chives, libraries, and historical collections; its purpose is to show what may be found at the various places from which information has been obtained by iv Introduction personal visitation or by the returns to a questionary ; its usefulness may con- sist in part in indicating where historical material is not to be found, thus restraining some needless correspondence and travel on the part of investi- gators. Many of the collections are constantly growing, so that this negative service of the Inventory may be relied upon only with caution. While the attempt has been made to gain definite information concerning all the collections which would fall within the general scope of the present enterprise, for all points south of Maryland and Kentucky and west of the Mississippi River a questionary has been employed. In addition to an intro- ductory note, explaining the purpose of the Inventory, the following specific information was asked for: 1. Name and address of the Library, Historical Society, etc. 2. Has it any special collection of manuscript (unprinted) material re- lating to any portion of American religious history? 3. Can you furnish a brief statement of the history of any such collection ? 4. Does your library contain, whether in a special collection or otherwise, manuscript material belonging to any of the following classes or in any way related to American religious history : a. Records of churches or other local religious bodies ? b. Records of associations, conventions, synods, assemblies, etc. ? c. Records of ecclesiastical trials ? d. Records of Sunday Schools, Young People's Societies, etc. ? e. Statistics of churches or other religious bodies ? f. Historical sketches of churches, historical sermons and addresses ? g. Journals, diaries, note-books, and correspondence of ministers or other religious workers ? h. Biographical or autobiographical material concerning the same ? i. Sermons or sermon-notes? j. Any other material bearing upon American religious history? These questions were intended to cover all the kinds of material which had been found in the collections personally visited and they indicate definitely the nature of almost all the items listed in this Inventory. The results gained from the questionary were not altogether satisfactory. For obvious reasons, the hearts of librarians and archivists do not warm up to the reception of a printed list of questions as they do to the living investi- gator in search of historical data. Some of the returns were detailed in the character of the information they contained ; some were satisfactory for the purpose of the Inventory when a simple " No " was placed after some or even all of the questions. Quite diiiferent was it, however, when the only informa- tion vouchsafed was a simple " Yes ", although in most cases it was probably warrantable to assume that such material as gave the basis for this simple affirmative answer was of local importance only. The question which perhaps arose first in the mind of the compiler of this Inventory, as he began his task of examining the various collections of manu- scripts, was, What is to be considered as material for American religious Introduction v history ? To a very large extent, however, the nature of the collections them- selves determined the practical answer to be given to the question. Certain types of material in printed works which suggested difficulties on the border line between the religious and the secular, as a matter of fact did not present themselves in the manuscript material actually examined. Perhaps the most serious form of the question arose in connection with biographical material and the writings of some individuals ; but as a large part of the historical work in the field of American religious movements will probably be done by those who are following out biographical lines of investigation, it has seemed at least useful, if not scientifically consistent, to include some personal material not in itself of a religious character, but connected with some man or woman whose career will most likely be approached from an interest in his or her religious activities. The very fact that this material has come into collections of the types included in the scheme of the Inventory has some bearing upon the answer to the original question as to whether particular material was pertinent to this catalogue, and, after all, only a few items are included which could have their presence challenged even by a relatively narrow interpre- tation of the term " religious ". All material which reveals the vital interest of the organized religious forces in social activities, such as education and philanthropy, has been, we believe, rightly included. It will be observed that some public (non-ecclesiastical) libraries have been included, some of them having been visited, and questionaries having been sent to those likely to have material relating to American religious history. The nature of most of the material listed is such that it would be almost impossible to give any critical estimate of its intrinsic value for historical pur- poses. While these manuscripts have not been printed — for only in excep- tional cases does the Inventory include any published material — some of them have been worked through by historical writers and perhaps the most important data utilized in biographical or historical works. Even in these cases, how- ever, there will be some profitable gleanings, especially when the reworking is carried along by some other motive and in relation to some other point of interest than those maintained in the previous use of the same documents. On the whole the compiler has been somewhat surprised that the libraries and archives visited did not contain more systematic collections of such types as the Wheelock and Backus Collections and the Hawks Transcripts. Most of the collections are mere accumulations rather than the result of definite effort to secure and preserve the correspondence and other papers of the men whose careers have been closely interwoven with the religious history of America. So far as official records are concerned, in very few cases do we find anything like complete sets of the manuscripts which antedate the time when the printed copies of the official proceedings made the preservation of the original records less important. This is particularly true of those ecclesiastical bodies which are more loosely organized and which have left their records largely to the vi Introduction private care of local clerks. Many of the books have perished in fires, wrhile at least one listed herein served as a family scrap-book before it found its way into the archives where it really belonged. While we regret that more of the records of the past have not been pre- served, historical learning of all future time will owe a debt of gratitude to the many individuals, and especially the librarians and other custodians of the collections both large and small, who with almost no financial support have been the means of the preservation of a large part of that which has come down to us ; and some of these faithful servants of History are still watching over her interests with a devotion which deserves the reward which most of all they themselves would ask for — a wider recognition of the importance of the work they are doing. This would lead, they believe, to a more ade- quate financial support of the historical collections and to their more general endowment. The present safety of many of the manuscripts listed in this volume is de- cidedly questionable. The most imminent peril is from fire. One valuable collection is in a fire-proof vault, but the method of lighting the latter en- dangers its contents and perhaps even the life of any one who attempts to work within it. Over against this situation may be placed that of another vault, large, well lighted, probably absolutely fire-proof, planned especially for the preservation of historical records, but without a page of manuscript or other historical material within it. In this Inventory the fact is usually stated when the manuscript collections are given special protection against fire ; in too many instances valuable collections are so exposed to danger from this arch-foe of historical material that one would hesitate to expose additional manuscripts to the same peril. The security of what is already possessed should be assured before making much effort to enlarge the collections themselves. The compiler of the Inventory feels that a word of apology is due because of the lapse of time since he began the work. The task was assumed with the understanding that his regular duties in connection with his college posi- tion were to take precedence, and this has made it necessary to relegate most of the work, especially that of the examination of the collections themselves, to the vacation seasons. When most of the archives and libraries had been visited and the work of arranging the items for publication was well started, the compiler accepted a new position which involved labors that made it nec- essary to leave the Inventory practically untouched for an entire academic year. There have been some difficulties in gaining access to some of the collections, which would have delayed the undertaking beyond the first ex- pectations ; most of these delays came not from any lack of co-operation on the part of the various archivists and librarians, but quite to the contrary ; they arose from a desire that the examination of the materials might be made with these experts at hand, so that the compiler of the Inventory might have the advantage of their wide and accurate learning. In spite of this co-opera- Introduction vii tion, however, the compiler can not hope to have his v(fork free from all inac- curacies. To a very large extent the materials listed have local bearings that make them extremely difficult to arrange without a full knowledge of local names, both of places and individuals. Doubtless, in spite of much care, some names have been confused and other inaccuracies may be found such as are almost inevitable unless one is thoroughly conversant with the local history and geography. Probably no single archivist or librarian would have handled the material of his own collection in just the way it is listed here, but it has seemed wise to adopt a general scheme, not to be followed slavishly where that would mean confusion, but likely to make the information in this Inven- tory more readily accessible to those who might wish to consult it in a search, in all the collections listed, for particular classes of material. While the local collection is the basis of the arrangement of the Inventory, the latter is in- tended to serve the historical worker at large rather than the local collection itself. The order is alphabetical, by state, town, and repository or institution. The compiler wishes to extend his cordial thanks for the ready assistance and co-operation which have been so freely given during the last four years by those in charge of the various collections visited and to those who have so kindly replied to the questionary and to other inquiries made from time to time. INVENTORY. ACADEMY OF PACIFIC COAST HISTORY, California Hall, Berkeley, California. This society has an exceedingly important collection of manuscript material for the history of the Roman Catholic missions in Mexico, the Southwest, and California, with less important material for Protestant missions in Oregon and adjacent parts. The collection also contains originals or copies of some of the mission books and copies of the archives of the Bishop of San Francisco. LIBRARY OF THE SAN FRANCISCO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, San Anselmo, California. As this is a Presbyterian institution most of the manuscript material here is connected with the history of that denomination. Most of it is unclassified as yet, but it is supposed to contain much important material for the history of Presbyterianism in California and on the Pacific Coast. The librarian re- ports a considerable number of manuscripts of the Rev. Drs. William A. Scott, Henry A. Boardman, George Burrowes, William Alexander, and other pio- neers of the Presbyterian Church in California. He also reports complete records of the synods of the Pacific Coast, some historical sketches, journals, diaries, biographical data, sermons, etc., with a number of letters of the founders of the seminary. CONNECTICUT HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Hartford, Connecticut. Henry Wolcott, jr. Notes in cipher of sermons and lectures by Mr. Warham and Mr. Huit of Windsor, and Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone, at Hartford, from April 19, 1638, to April 29, 1641, in regular course. (The volume is briefly described and two of the abstracts of Hooker's sermons are printed in Conn. Hist. Soc. Collections, I.) Separate Church Papers. 3 vols. Volume I. consists of 199 documents (as numbered, two separate parts of one document sometimes being numbered as two documents) , per- taining to Separate churches, especially to that in Canterbury, Con- necticut. 1 733- 1 772. Volume H. consists of 209 documents of the same general character as the preceding. 1772-1815. Volume HI. consists of 93 documents, including the records of the Gen- eral Meeting of the Strict Congregational Churches, 1782- 1795, 1798, 1799, 1801-1811. 2 Connecticut: Hartford CONNECTICUT STATE LIBRARY, Hartford, Connecticut. The archives of the state of Connecticut comprise a large number of docu- ments in manuscript, most of which have come into the possession of the public authorities because of the close relation of Church and State in Con- necticut before 1818. The papers since 1789 have not as yet been classified and were not accessible for examination, nor are they likely to be until some time after the State Library is established in its new home, the corner-stone of which was laid in May, 1909. The earlier manuscripts, dating from 1659 to 1789, have been bound in fifteen volumes and are known as the " Ecclesi- astical Papers ". With the exception of a few misplacements, these manu- scripts are arranged in chronological order, numbered consecutively in each volume, the sum total of these numbers being 5138. A few inserts (indicated by letters, e. g., 10, 10^, 11) will bring the number well up to 5200. Each volume contains a topical index of its contents. As it is hoped that the state of Connecticut will soon complete the organiza- tion of the remaining ecclesiastical papers in its archives and that an adequate calendar of the complete collection will be prepared, it has seemed unwise to attempt any description of the individual manuscripts, save as illustrations of the general description here given. A large number of the papers are concerned with local ecclesiastical affairs, such as the organization of parishes, de novo, by division, or by union ; the building or repairing of meeting-houses, the location often involving disputes ; the levying of rates either in connection with these enterprises or in general for the support of the religious establishment. In many cases there are peti- tions to the General Court and orders of the Court which supplement the records of that legislative body, throwing considerable light upon the broad activities of the latter in connection with religious and ecclesiastical affairs. There are many papers which are the direct antecedents of colonial statutes, while it is probable that certain processes of legislation in Connecticut can be traced only through these papers and the endorsements upon them. Some of the papers are concerned with church quarrels, the holding of councils, the decision of ethical questions confronting colonial society. Of special im- portance and interest are the large number of manuscripts bearing upon the question of religious liberty, including petitions against rates, and for the privileges guaranteed by the English Toleration Act, together with general declarations in favor of liberty of conscience. Through the indexes there is ready access to much information concerning the local churches. A few specific items are listed here, in part illustrative of the general de- scription just given, in part supplementary to it. Petition of members of the Church of England in regard to the baptism of their children, 1664. Also an address of 636 members of the Church of England to the General Assembly claiming equal privi- leges with the established church in Connecticut, 1738.

Records of the New Fairfield South Congregational Church, 1742-1870, and Society, 1755-1900. 2 vols. THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF CONNECTICUT, Hartford, Connecticut. The archives of this society, which was organized in 1798, are located in the Memorial Hall of the General Conference of the Congregational Churches of Connecticut, at 426 Asylum Street, where a fire-proof vault affords adequate protection to the papers and books in the collection. The material, almost without exception, is connected with the history of Congregationalism in Con- 4 Connecticut: Hartford necticut, the vault being used as a depository for the records of some churches, associations, and societies. No attempt is made in the following list to dis- tinguish between these and the archives proper. GENERAL.

The librarian reports that this library possesses some manuscript material bearing upon the history of negro Baptists in Georgia but does not specify its nature in detail. EMORY COLLEGE LIBRARY, Oxford, Newton County, Georgia. Such little material as is located in this library relates to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Probably the only item of special historical interest is a letter written by one of the North Georgia Conference delegates to the General Conference giving a rather detailed account of the famous debate on the case of Bishop J. O. Andrew which resulted in the withdrawal of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, from the Methodist Episcopal Church. [1844.J CHICAGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Chicago, Illinois.

This missionary organization, through which the Northern Baptists have carried on most of their foreign missionary work and which had an active part in the organizing of missionary efforts in the early part of the nineteenth century, possesses a library of missionary literature. It has lost considerable historical material through fires which have destroyed Tremont Temple, long the headquarters of the Missionary Union. The archives of the Society which are now located in a fire-proof vault in the Ford Building, contain a large number of letters from early missionaries on the fields and other miscellaneous correspondence ; there are also files of correspondence, largely administrative or else reports from the foreign fields, much of which has been printed in the Baptist Missionary Magazine and in the annual reports ; also copies of letters 26 Massachusetts: Boston of the Home and Foreign secretaries, and papers relative to applicants for appointment as missionaries. Some local religious conditions are reflected in some of this correspondence, but otherwise little concerning American re- ligious history. The records which have some bearing upon the history of this missionary organization are listed below : Records of " The General Missionary Convention of the Baptist Denorni- nation in the United States of America, for Foreign Missions ", with records of the Board of Managers. 1814-1820. (These are gen- erally printed, though not always in complete form.) Records of the Board of Managers of the Baptist General Convention. 1820-1835. Records of the Baptist General Convention ; also of the Executive Com- mittee and of the Board. 1835-1843. Records of the " Acting Board ". 1843-1847. (The General Convention became the American Baptist Missionary Union by accepting a new act of incorporation, May 19, 1846.) Records of the Executive Committee. May 26, 1846, to current records. THE ARCHIVES OF THE AMERICAN BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS, Congregational House, Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts. Four letter-books containing copies of " Letters to the Indian Missions ; also other letters having reference to Indian Missions and properly within that Department ". 1818-1820; 1832-1836. Twenty-eight letter-books containing copies of letters from the secretaries in regard to Indian missions, 1836-1883, at which latter date the work among the Indians was transferred to the American Missionary As- sociation. 224 letter-books containing copies of letters to foreign missionaries and about foreign missions, but containing some reflection of domestic religious conditions. Mar. 7, 1836, to current files. Forty-two letter-books, in part hand copies of letters in the previous series that are faint, with some additional letters. 1838-1875. THE CONGREGATIONAL LIBRARY, Congregational House, Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts. A society " for the establishment of a Congregational Library, and the culti- vation of theological science " was organized in Boston in 185 1 and reorganized in 1853. The following year it was incorporated by act of the General Court under " the name of the Congregational Library Association, at Boston, for the purpose of establishing and perpetuating a library of the religious his- tory and literature of New England ". In 1864, by act of the General Court, approved May 10 by the governor, the name was changed to the American Congregational Association and the functions of the society were somewhat increased. The constitution of the Association states among its objects, " to found and perpetuate a library of books, pamphlets, and manu- Massachusetts: Boston 27 scripts, and a collection of portraits and relics of the past ; and to do what- ever else . . . shall serve to illustrate Congregational history, and promote the general interests of the Congregational churches ". To promote this object, constant efforts have been made to gather a comprehensive collection of Con- gregational historical material, until, according to the latest statistics furnished by the librarian, in October, 1909, there is a collection of 57,185 volumes, with 54,183 pamphlets, and extensive files of Congregational and other periodicals. The library has commodious quarters in the Congregational House, which would be classed as a fire-proof building. As will be seen from the list which follows, the manuscript material in this library is of a miscellaneous character, for the most part being valuable for local history and biographical study rather than for any light which might be thrown upton the history of Congregationalism as a general movement.

The New England Baptist Library Association was organized Apr. 13, 1908, and incorporated Apr. 17, 1908, with the purp>ose, as stated in its constitu- tion, " To establish and maintain a Baptist Library in Boston ; to federate all societies having the care of Baptist archives and collections in New England ... ; to gather such a collection of books, pamphlets, manuscripts, prints, and relics, historical and missionary, as shall m.ake this Library of recognized value for serious research ". The larger part of the historical material which has come into this library belongs to the Backus Historical Society and is known as the Backus Collec- tion; but there is also other manuscript material (which will be found listed below), which belongs to the other societies which are members of the New England Baptist Library Association, and still other collections, relating to the work of various Baptist organizations, which have been kept distinct and are designated as follows j the Baldwin Collection, relating to the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the work of foreign missions ; the Sharp Collection, relating to the Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Society ; the Chaplin Collection, relating to the Northern Baptist Education Society ; Massachusetts: Boston 35 and other collections which as yet contain no manuscript material in the field covered by this Inventory. The Backus Historical Society was organized in 1853 and has brought to- gether some 800 volumes, several thousand pamphlets, including extensive files of State Convention and Association minutes, especially for New England, and the invaluable manuscript collections listed in some detail below. The term " Backus Collection " is now used to designate the entire library of the Backus Historical Society ; it has also been used, however, to denote spe- cifically the manuscripts of Rev. Isaac Backus himself and also the manu- scripts of himself and others which he had collected. It is in this last sense that the term is used below (p. 39), although some of the manuscripts listed under that caption have doubtless found their way into the collection since the death of Backus.

A catalogue embracing the history of this collection and a somewhat detailed list of the books and manuscripts contained in it has been published under the title. The Prince Library: a Catalogue of the Collection of Books and Manu- scripts which formerly belonged to the Reverend Thomas Prince, and was by him bequeathed to the Old South Church, and is now deposited in the Public Library of the City of Boston. The Mather Papers, 1632-1689, have been printed in the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 4th series, vol. VHL, edited by Dr. Chand- 60 Massachusetts: Boston ler Robbins, except " such as are much mutilated, the few which had before appeared in print, some of those which contain only foreign intelligence, and such as possess little or no historical value " (preface, in above). The Prince Catalogue, however, says, " A comparison of [the Catalogue] with the printed volume will show that the latter omits a considerable portion of the corre- spondence ". The documents listed as Mather Papers below comprise those bearing upon American religious history which are listed in the Catalogue but which do not appear in the two volumes of Collections referred to above. Some of the papers are illegible and some may have been printed elsewhere. THE MATHER PAPERS. Connecticut: Windsor. Copy of the proceedings at a meeting of the congregation, June 2, 1679.

THE WHEELOCK COLLECTION. This consists of approximately four thousand letters and other papers re- lated directly or indirectly to Rev. Eleazar Wheelock, the founder of Dart- mouth College. There are letters by him and letters to him, letters and other papers relating to Indian missions, Moor's Charity School, the early history of Dartmouth College, the ministerial work of Wheelock, local religious af- fairs and conditions. Wheelock was for about thirty-five years pastor of the Congregational Church at Lebanon, Connecticut, so the letters reflect many of the religious conditions in that state. A number of the letters have been published in full or in abstract in Chase's History of Dartmouth College and Hanover, N. H., in McClure's Memoirs of the Rev. Eleazar Wheelock, and in Love's Samson Occam. According to Chase (I. 557), the papers of Wheelock passed into the possession of his son, John Wheelock, and then to the latter's son-in-law. Rev. William Allen, who was also executor of John Wheelock's estate. Some papers and letters later than the time of Eleazar Wheelock, who died Apr. 24, 1779, had accumulated in the family and have remained with 72 New Hampshire: Hanover the collection, the greater part of which was ultimately transferred into the possession of Dartmouth College by the courtesy of the children of Rev. Wil- liam Allen.

THE ARCHIVES OF THE UNITAS FRATRUM OR MORAVIAN CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Almost from the beginning of the history of the Moravian Brethren in this country, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has been the centre of their organized activities, and a vast amount of their manuscript material has accumulated here. A considerable proportion of the papers relate to the congregation at Bethlehem, but reports from missionaries and the mission stations were con- stantly sent in to the headquarters here. No attempt has been made to include in this Inventory such reports as come from the mission fields outside the present limits of the United States and Canada. By far the larger part of the manuscripts, especially the letters and the diaries and reports of congregations, are in German, but they are listed here, with few exceptions, by designations in English. The Malin Library of Moravian Literature, with which the archives are connected, contains many important printed books relating to the history of the Unitas Fratrum both in Europe and in America. A brief list of such manuscripts in the archives as were deemed of primary importance for the history of the Unitas Fratrum is to be found in volume VIII. of the American Church History series ; a more detailed list, though incomplete and in many particulars imperfect, appears in the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Quar- terly of Apr., 1909, where announcement is made of a plan for printing some of this manuscript material.

While this library contains a large amount of printed material relating to the history of the Friends, including considerable pamphlet literature, it con- tains almost no material coming within the scope of this Inventory except a few letters and other papers contained in the Charles Roberts Autograph Collection. This collection consists of several thousand letters and other manu- scripts in the handwriting or with the signatures of British and American celebrities in the iield of literature, art, politics, war, and in almost every phase of public activity. While it was evidently the desire of the collector to make the collection as comprehensive as possible, letters that contained some- thing of interest were preferred to others which might have autographic value only. The collection is classified according to the general position or profes- sion of the writers. While other portions of the collection might contain in- cidentally material related to American religious history, only those classified as " American Prelates " and " American Clergymen " have been examined, and only such as contained data within our field have been listed here. These are arranged according to the denominational standing of the writers, all of whom were ministers. 174 Pennsylvania: Haver ford Baptist: Isaac Backus.

Airy, Pennsylvania. This ministerium is the oldest Lutheran synod in America, having been organized in 1748. It bears the name " Ministerium " because as first or- ganized, it consisted only of the ministers, though laymen were present to report for the churches. Lay representation began in 1792, but the old name of the synod has been continued. The archives have been systematically kept and are quite complete from 1801 onward. They have recently been transferred to a fire-proof vault in the new library building of the Lutheran Theological Seminary. There is a manuscript catalogue of the archives which enters somewhat more into de- tails than does this Inventory, but it does not contain reference to all of the unofficial papers which are to be found among the archives material. GENERAL AND SYNODAL. Miscellaneous documents relating to the General Council. Halle Documents. These consi.st of four volumes of transcripts from the archives in Plalle a. S., being " Copies taken from the letters, reports, opinions, correspondence, etc., of the Lutheran Missionaries in Penn- sylvania during 1745-1785, which letters were procured . . . from the Halle Archives ... in the years 1879-1883 ".

Archives of the Synod. (Under this label are gathered a file of letters, reports of committees and officers, credentials, etc., arranged chrono- logically by years, 1 801 -1897. The later material has not yet been arranged.

The origin of this library dates from 1742 when the Monthly Meeting of Philadelphia accepted the bequest by Thomas Chalkley of his library of one hundred and eleven volumes. In 1886 the present fire-proof building was erected at the above location and here have been brought together somewhat Pennsylvania: Philadelphia 187 over 16,000 volumes including a department of Friends' Books, containing dififerent editions of biographies and other writings of early Friends. Most of the manuscripts to be found here are assigned to the Department of Re- cords, but are in most cases only deposited, the ownership still being with the various meetings whose records they are. A list of them, not complete, how- ever, is given in Morgan Bunting's A List of the Records of the Meetings constituting the Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends held at Fifteenth and Race Streets, Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA YEARLY MEETING (HICKSITE), Fifteenth and Race Streets, Philadelphia. See Morgan Bunting's A List of the Records of the Meetings Constituting the Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends. This list embraces all the manu- scripts significant to the purpose of the present volume which are possessed by this body. THE PRESBYTERIAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Witherspoon Building, Walnut Street, Philadelphia. The history of the organization of this society in 1852, and of its later work, may be found in Rev. Dr. William L. Ledwith's The Record of Fifty Years, i852-ip02: Historical Sketch of the Presbyterian Historical Society, published by the society in 1902. It is there stated that the first definite step toward the collection of historical materials was taken in 1791, when a committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America was appointed " to devise measures for the collecting of materials necessary for a history of the Presbyterian Church in North America ". This com- mittee reported the next day. May 24, stating the kinds of information de- sired and advising that the materials collected be deposited with the clerk at the next meeting of the General Assembly. In 1853 by vote of the General Assembly it was " Resolved, That the General Assembly commit all the manuscript material which has been collected in past years under their authority to the custody of the Presbyterian Historical Society." This had been organized the previous year in connection with the meeting of the General Assembly in Charleston, South Carolina. It was decided to 200 Pennsylvania: Philadelphia locate the library of the society in Philadelphia, so the society was incorporated in Pennsylvania. The charter granted by the legislature in 1857 recognized the interest in the society of the various divisions of Presbyterianism in Amer- ica and now the Churches represented in the society are those included in the " Alliance of Reformed Churches holding the Presbyterian System ", in^., the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (the Northern Church), including the Cumberland Presbyterian Church; the Presbyterian Church in the United States (the Southern Church) ; the Reformed Church in the United States (German Reformed) ; the Reformed Church in America (Dutch Reformed) ; the United Presbyterian Church of North America; the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America ; the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in North America ; the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church of the United States ; and the Associate Re- formed Presbyterian Synod of the South. The Presbyterian Historical Society occupies commodious quarters on the fifth floor of the Witherspoon Building where fire-proof safes afford protection to the more valuable manuscript material. A modem card catalogue makes the printed and manuscript material alike easily accessible. In addition to the material listed below there is a collection of about 600 historical sketches of local Presbyterian churches, in many cases consisting of historical sermons on anniversary and other occasions. In 1876, in response to a concerted movement, many pastors preached sermons tracing the history of Presbyterianism in the local community, afterwards sending in their manu- scripts to this society. Approximately two-thirds of the number noted above are the result of this centennial observance. As doubtless many of these ser- mons and historical sketches have been printed in local papers and in other forms, and as later similar material is constantly being added to the collection, it seems unnecessary to list them here in detail.

A Descriptive List of Manuscript Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin together 7vith Reports on other Collections of Manuscript Mate- rial for American History in adjacent States, edited by Reuben Gold Thwaites, LL. D., secretary and superintendent of the society, was published by the soci- ety in 1906. Apart from the biographical material relating to some early mis- sionaries and some data concerning early churches in the Northwest there is relatively little in this extensive manuscript collection which concerns Ameri- can religious history. Special mention may be made of the Brant Manuscripts (22 vols.), being materials gathered by Lyman C. Draper in preparation for a proposed biography of Joseph Brant, the Mohawk chief who was educated at Wheelock's Indian School {cf. Wheelock Collection, Dartmouth College, Han- over, New Hampshire), and also the Shane Collection. The two volumes of the latter which deal particularly with religious history, however, are at the Presbyterian Historical Society, Philadelphia. 210 Wisconsin: Milton " Among much other missionary material there are the journals and letter books of Rev. Alfred Brunson, a pioneer Methodist circuit rider and Indian agent ; and Rev. Cutting Marsh, representative of the American Board and of the Scottish S. P. C. K." (Descriptive List, p. 113.) The Descriptive List refers also to manuscript material relating to " rubrics, religious matters, churches and the several denominations.

During the progress of the work of gathering the data for this Inventory, Professor E. B. Krehbiel, Ph. D., now of Leland Stanford Junior University, prepared a letter and questionary which were sent to a number of leading Mennonites who would be best informed as to the documentary history of that religious body. The following data are compiled from the returns which have been received in response to these requests for information. There are no established archives of the Mennonites as yet, but in 1906 the Eastern District Conference of Pennsylvania appointed a committee of three, of which Rev. N. B. Grubb, 715 Berks Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is chairman, to arrange for and if possible to establish a Mennonite Historical Bureau and Library, a movement which the General Conference has endorsed. Already about 500 volumes, with as many more pamphlets and other docu- ments, have been collected as a nucleus for the library. Recently there have been received a considerable number of old and rare historical books in the Dutch language, a gift from the General Society of Doopsgezinde (Mennon- ites) of Holland, through Professor Dr. S. Cramer of Amsterdam. Plans are being completed to secure from the libraries in Holland and Germany Methodist Historical Societies 211 copies of letters and other documents having special reference to the early his- tory of the Mennonite Church in this country. The records of the General Conference are in the hands of the secretary of the same, while the records of the district conferences are held by their respective secretaries. The records of local churches are usually in the custody of the secretary or of the pastor of each church. Considerable manuscript material is in the possession of individual owners. Ex-Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker of Pennsylvania and John E. Roller of Harrisonburg, Virginia, have valuable collections. Rev. H. P. Krehbiel of Newton, Kansas, has in his possession all the records and much of the correspondence pertaining to the history of the Mennonite educational institution of higher learning which was located at Wadsworth, Ohio ; these materials are of considerable historical importance, especially in connection with the development of the Mennonite General Conference. The late Rev. Christian Krehbiel possessed the corre- spondence of the first secretary of the General Conference Mission Board, Rev. Carl Justus van der Smissen, and also some unprinted autobiographical matter; these papers are now in the care of his widow at Halstead, Kansas. Rev. M. S. Steiner of Columbus Grove, Ohio, president of the Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities, has some miscellaneous papers, including a manuscript volume of sermons from ministers of various states, and Ontario. The private library of Rev. John F. Funk of Elkhart, Indiana, also contains some manuscript material, but chiefly historical writings by Mr. Funk himself. THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL HISTORICAL SOCIETIES. The Methodist Year Book of 1910 gives brief accounts of nineteen Meth- odist historical societies, of which four were visited and the manuscript mate- rial listed in detail. Questionaries were sent to the others and we list here such of the returns as are sufficiently definite to be serviceable. Historical Society of the California Conference, 5 and 7 City Hall Avenue, San Francisco, California. A small collection of diaries, biographical notes. Quarterly Conference re- cords, sermons, etc., collected since the organization of the society in 1874. The Historical Society of the Central Pennsylvania Conference, Dickinson Seminary, WilHamsport, Pennsylvania. Historical sketches of Methodism in Ashland and in Bedford. Cincinnati Conference Historical Society, 220 West Fourth Street, Cincin- nati, Ohio. This Society reports some local records and some biographical material per- taining to members of the conference. The Historical Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Nebraska, Uni- versity Place, Nebraska. Besides a number of historical sketches, there is a file of reminiscences of early settlers, taken stenographically. Ohio Methodist Historical Society, Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio. 212 North Carolina: Winston-Salem This society has several records of churches and of the Ohio Conference, with some diaries, journals, and correspondence, including a considerable number of letters of early Methodist leaders in Ohio. Troy Conference Historical Society, State Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Troy, New York. This society indicated that it had some material of each class represented in the questionary. (See introduction.) Wyoming Conference Historical Society, Kingston, Luzerne County, Penn- sylvania. This society reports that it has some records of local churches and other religious associations, historical sketches, and some biographical material, in- cluding diaries and correspondence. Wyoming Mission Historical Society, Sheridan, Wyoming. Historical sketches of many of the mission stations and biographical data of the ministers of the conference, together with conference statistics. DIOCESAN ARCHIVES OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH. A number of the diocesan headquarters of the Protestant Episcopal Church were visited ; in each case an examination of the archives showed little of broad historical interest, most of the documents dealing with the administra- tive matters within the diocese. For the history of the several dioceses and of parishes within each diocese, the diocesan archives will contribute considerable material; confirmation lists, ordination documents, the diocesan correspond- ence, reports from mission stations (in many cases later organized as par- ishes), occasional records of extinct parishes, papers of the Standing Com- mittee — these are the typical contents of these archives so far as examined. There is some biographical material, especially in connection with the ordina- tion papers and in some of the correspondence concerning bishops-elect. MORAVIAN ARCHIVES AT WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA. The Wachovian archives of the Moravian Church at Winston-Salem were through inadvertence passed over in the collecting of material for this Inven- tory and no report upon them appears in their proper place under North Carolina. A comprehensive account of them has been furnished by Miss Adelaide L. Fries, who has used them extensively for historical purposes. Her letter follows : Winston-Salem, N. C. Nov. 5, 1910. Mr. J. F. Jameson, Dear Sir: I am sorry to say that there is no catalogue of the manuscripts in our Wach- ovian Archives. German was the official language of the Settlement until about 1856, which has probably hindered proper niodern methods, as the lan- guage has unfortunately been largely lost in the community. From my own acquaintance with the Records I can give you an outline of some things, but North Carolina: Winston-Salem 213 there are many papers over which I have had no time to look. When I wished to write a history of the Moravians in Georgia some years ago, I secured copies of the original Diaries preserved in Herrnhut, Germany, and of all references I could find elsewhere. As this antedated Wachovia we naturally had nothing original. From 1753 on we have the daily diary kept by the lead- ing minister. It deals largely with the Church side of life, but there are occasional entries of more general interest. Dr. Clewell's History of Wach- ovia was based on a careful study of these diaries. With the diaries are nu- merous memoirs, it having been customary (and it still is in the Salem Mora- vian Church) to prepare a brief sketch of each member who died, read the sketch at the funeral, and then file it away. There are also numerous " Bei- lage ", accounts of the celebration of special days, etc., anything which seemed to demand more space than could properly be taken in the diaries. To this class also belong certain historical sketches, written for use on special anni- versary days, etc. The sketch of the earlier years of the Revolutionary War, written by Traugott Bagge, in which occurs the reference to the Mecklen- burg Declaration of Independence, belongs to this class. Besides the diaries there are at least three complete sets of Minute Books dating from about 1772 on. Some matters seem to have passed from one Board to another, so that it is a little difficult to give clear-cut boundaries to their activities, but the " Gemein Rath " — Congregation Council — discussed all questions which seemed to aflfect the entire Congregation ; the " Aeltesten Conferenz " — Elders' Conference — had the oversight of the spiritual and social well-being of the church members ; while the " Ausseher Collegium " — Board of Ward- ens — was Finance Committee and Board of Aldermen for the village. In the course of time the latter became the Board of Trustees, retaining the financial responsibilities, though municipal affairs passed into the hands of civil officials. There is a great deal of interesting local history in these " Protocolle ", but probably the parts of general interest are references to the currency, and prices of various commodities. Of equal value for local history are the Journals and Ledgers of the Congregation in Salem, from 1772 on. There are also the Ledgers, etc., of the " Single Sisters' Diacony ", and " Single Brothers' Diacony ". I have spent a good deal of time this summer in gathering material for a sketch of the " Single Sisters' House " which belongs to the former, dating from 1785. Besides this there is a large col- lection of " Nachrichten ", reports from Moravian congregations all over the world, which were copied in Germany, and sent regularly to all the larger Moravian settlements, predecessors of the modern church papers and mis- sionary magazines. There are also manuscript copies of the proceedmgs of General Synods of the Moravian Church, and some printed books, largely of an early date, early from the standpoint of our local history I mean ; there seems to have been little effort to add modern Moravian books, and for those we have to turn to our Sunday School library, or our own collections. There are several other closets full of papers which I must admit I have not had time to examine. You see I have no official connection with the care of the Archives, and what work I have done has been purely con amore, and frequently interrupted. There are a few papers in some of our other Mora- vian congregations, but I know little about them, and the more important seem to have been deposited at Salem, which was the official centre. Respectfully, Adelaide L. Fries. 214 New York: New York City ADDENDUM.
