  Historical note

  The conference secretary was elected at the annual conference sessions. Until 1961 the secretary was in charge of maintaining the minutes of annual sessions and executive meetings as well as the correspondence files of the executive.

  Scope and content note

  This sub-series consists largely of correspondence but also includes minutes, reports and other materials. Correspondence was carried on with many institutions (including different levels of conferences) and touches on a wide variety of subjects. The conference secretary files extant in the Archives were generated by three men who occupied this position successively. They were H.T. Klassen (1947-1954), P.R. Harder (1954-1958), and H.H. Epp (1958-1961).
