This sub-series contains the original handwritten minute books of the conference sessions for the years 1903 to 1942. Original minutes for the years 1943 to 1948 are not available, although published minutes exist in the CMC Yearbooks for the years 1928-1999. The minute books provide a handwritten copy of the constitution and summarize the papers presented and discussed at the annual sessions. The issues discussed were usually religious in nature although in some instances they had broader implications (e.g. the discussion on involvement in politics). The minutes also recorded all the resolutions approved during the sessions.

These are photographs from various Native Ministries conference sessions.
