These records consist of the files of the director of human resources.  They include house policy manuals, employee handbooks, the minutes of the House Advisory Group, and files pertaining to personnel issues in the major divisions of the publishing house.  In addition to providing information about employee wages and benefits, these records also provide a window into worker culture at the publishing house.

Minutes, reports, and other documents pertaining to a committee of Mennonite Publishing House employees charged with "fostering and maintaining Christian fellowship and relationships among the Workers of Mennonite Publishing House."  The records document the committee's activities in planning social events and chapel services and in acknowledging employees personal celebrations (marriages, births) and sorrows (illnesses, deaths).

This series includes programs for annual and biennial meetings of the Mennonite Publishing Board (1912-1958), as well as annual and biennial reports written by Mennonite Publishing House staff for the board.

The earliest meetings of the Mennonite Publishing Board are documented only through programs of the annual or biennial meetings.  Between 1933 and 1960, the Publishing House issued annual or biennial reports, some titled "Our Mennonite Literature and Books Service" or "Our Mennonite Literature Service."  From 1961 forward, the Publishing House issued annual reports titled as such.
