This series consists primarily of the records collected and generated by the president, secretary or treasurer of the organization. There are four parts: Presidents' files, 1966-1978; Secretary/Treasurer's files, 1954-1991; Presidents' files, 1981-1990, 1996; President's files, 1989-1993; and treasurer files consisting of minutes, finances, reports, and correspondence, 1993-2010. The president's files from 1981-1993 includes files of each of the Provincial WIM activities, minutes, reports and correspondence relating to the Canadian and General Conference WIM, copies of the constitution, some project files, and miscellaneous articles. There are also photographs of women's groups typical activities such as quilting, sewing, planning meals and having spiritual fellowship together. Of special interest is a small scrapbook album of a Girl's home reunion for the Eben Ezer Maedchenheim held in 1961 in Vancouver. This collection will be critical for the researcher studying the roles of women in the life of the church.

The Mennonite Men records begin in 1960 and continue until 1971, at which time, it appears that Canadian Mennonite Men almost collapsed. These records were in part generated by the following secretary-treasurers: Henry Dick 1961-1963, Paul Peters 1963-1967, and Abe Poettcker 1967-1969. The balance of the records were generated by Rudy Regehr (president 1966-1969).

The correspondence of Canadian Mennonite Men pertains largely to the "Company of 200" project (which raised money to enable ministers to pursue further education), to a Paraguayan development project, and to Canadian Mennonite Men annual banquets. There is also some correspondence with Mennonite Men locals and with the organization in the United States. Some of the letters also deal with the fact that Canadian Mennonite Men lacked a real reason for existing. The records include a complete run of minutes for the years 1960-1968. (additional printed minutes for the years 1968-1972 can be found in the CMC Yearbooks) Also included in the files are membership applications to the "Company of 200". There are also what may be records of the General Conference Mennonite Men.

The records have some interest for the person studying leadership patterns in the church or the social structures of church bodies.

The sub series correspondence concentrates on the following subjects; administration of the CMYO, publications of the CMYO, special projects (e.g. fundraising for Mennonite Pioneer Mission), involvement with young people's organizations in the United States. The records appear to be complete for the years 1953-1966. In the years following 1960 the amount of correspondence decreased somewhat. In addition to this the collection has a complete set of CMYO minutes for the years 1947-1966 and a number of reports. The files also contain a few issues of Mennonite Youth (1960-1962) and the Young Peoples' Messenger (1947-1950). An complete set of the Young Peoples' Messenger can be found in the CMC Publications files. The financial records in this sub-series consist of three ledgers and several cheque and receipt book for the years 1951-1959.

The collection has considerable interest for researchers doing a historical study of the CMC, especially if they have an interest in leadership development. The CMYO served as a virtual training school for a generation of conference leaders. These materials are quite illuminating when examined in the light of other CMC records. This collection could also be of use to anyone with an interest in Canada youth and their organizations.

These records are unprocessed. Contact staff re. Acc. 2004-054.

The records in this sub-series date back to 1954 since large amounts of Board of Education and Publication material have been interfiled with the CRB's later records. These records contain Board of Education and Publication minutes for the years 1951-1971. There are also CRB minutes for the years 1971-1978. The run of correspondence for both the Boards involved in this sub-series are very nearly if not entirely complete.

These records cover a broad range of subjects. Minutes, general correspondence, and reports deal with subjects such as Sunday Schools, songbook and worship, youth, provincial conferences, Bible schools and colleges, evangelism, church architecture, radio broadcasting, eldership, history of the Mennonites in Canada, small communities and related problems, social issues, the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society, the History-Archives Committee, and Chinese ministries. There are 15 boxes related to the Gesangbuch published in 1963.

The files offer many other possibilities because of the broad range of subjects, but at least some of them the volume of material is not substantial enough to enable one to engage in any kind of major study. They could be of some use to congregational or local historian who are seeking information about the 1950s and 1960s. They could also be utilized by individuals studying religion and social issues, or by historians interested in Canadian Church life in the post-world war II era.

The Board of Christian Service records appear to be fairly complete. The contain Board minutes for the years 1954-1971, as well as correspondence files dating from 1954 and 1956-1971. The files contain a great deal of material regarding the social issues of the 1950s and 1960s and about the CMC position toward them. The Board of Christian Service was very involved in the area of peace education and this interest is reflected in the content of the files. There are also files on subjects such as divorce, race relations, draft resistance, Martin Luther King, medical ethics, and capital punishment, to name a few.

The Records of the Board of Christian Service files were generated by the following people: a) David P. Neufeld (Chairman of the Board 1956-1960) b) Frank H Epp (Executive Secretary 1956-1959, 1965) c) Henry A. Wiens (Secretary of the Board 1957-1959, Chairman of the Board 1960-1964) d) Peter G. Sawatzky (Executive Secretary 1964) e) Frank H. Epp (Chairman of the Board 1964, Executive Secretary 1965) f) Nick Dick (Executive Secretary 1966) g) Jake Letkemann (Executive Secretary 1967-1971).

These files are of considerable interest for studying church involvement in Canadian social issues, church state relations, religion and the larger society, and the evolution of the Christian social conscience.

The materials in this sub-series have been generated primarily by H.T. Klassen the secretary of the Board from 1953-1961, and executive secretary from 1962-1965. The majority of these records pertain to CMC Sunday Schools for the years 1953-1971. There are also Board minutes for the years 1955-1971 and publications correspondence for the same period. These records could be of use for people studying the history of Christian Education or the structures and activities of the CMC.

These files consist primarily of correspondence pertaining to publications dating from the period after 1950. The main publications dealt with are the CMC Yearbook, Der Bote, The Canadian Mennonite (1953-1971), Mennonite Reporter (1971-1997), Canadian Mennonite (1997-), Light for the Day/Licht fuer den Tag. The Canadian Mennonite and its successors, Mennonite Reporter (1972) and Canadian Mennonite (1997) had an arms-length relationship with the conference.

Files were generated by: a) J.G. Rempel (Conference Secretary) 1939-1942 b) David P. Neufeld (Executive Secretary of the CMC) 1961-1967 c) H.T. Klassen (Executive Secretary of the Board of Education and Publication) 1954-1966 d) Henry H. Epp (Executive Secretary of the Board of Education and Publication) 1966-1971 e) Henry H. Epp (Executive Secretary of the Congrgational Resources Board) 1971-1974 f) Lawrence Klippenstein (CMC Editor of Publications) 1973-1976 g) Irene Friesen Petkau (1976-1977) h) Adelia Neufeld Wiens (1977-1978) i) Susan Rempel Letkemann (1978-1981) j) Larry Kehler (1982-1983) k) Eleanor Loewen (1983-1984) l) Brenda Suderman (1983-1987) m) Marg Franz (1987-1994) n) Roma Quapp editor of Nexus (1994-1997) o) Aiden Schlichting Enns.

For most researchers the useful part of this sub series are the publications. For example, Der Miterbeitar and Der Bote have great usefulness for reconstructing many facets of early Mennonite life in Canada and for understanding the thinking of Mennonite people. The CMC yearbooks which include the proceedings of the annual conferences, give an overview of the ministry through the years. The English language papers give a survey of more recent events and understanding.
