An incomplete set of catalogs advertising not only materials published by the Mennonite Publishing House, but also Christian books, calendars, plaques, cards, Sunday school materials, and other miscellaneous items. The catalogs include a small set of early catalogs (1920 and earlier) published in German.

Researchers should note that catalogs published from 1973 to1990 are missing. The Mennonite Historical Library (Goshen, Ind.) also has a set of Mennonite Publishing House catalogs that researchers may consult.

A set of materials produced for advertising Mennonite Publishing House books and curricula to clergy, churches, faculty, and lay people.  The bulk of the materials are trade sales letters announcing the recent publication of books and other resources.  Other materials found in these records include newsletters to pastors, advertising newsletters, and miscellaneous fliers.

Consisting primarily of incoming and outgoing correspondence to the marketing director in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Jack Scott, these records are internal records pertaining to Mennonite Publishing House's efforts to advertise and sell its products. Reports are few and date from the 1950s and 1993.

News releases written to promote new books published by Herald Press and other imprints of the Mennonite Publishing House.  Some releases contain black and white photographs of the book covers.
