This collection contains a variety of archival resources and bibliographies collected by the EMC Archives.

The EMC Collection has been intellectually arranged into 14 series following the “Evangelical Mennonite Conference Archives Classification Code".
The Conference structures evolved from most decision making done by the congregational ministerial to a broader organization with greater lay involvement. In 1960, the formation of the Conference Council and the Conference boards and committees was introduced to aid with administrative decisions. Elected delegates from each congregation, together with ordained ministers and deacons, made up the council. A subsequent administrative revision occured in 1972.
See the 2014 EMC Yearbook p. 49 for the organizational structure at the time that the records were transferred to the Mennonite Heritage Archives.
