Records pertaining to Mennonite Research Foundation Project #1, a study designed to learn the annual incomes of a broad spectrum of (old) Mennonite Church members. The rationale for the study was to determine whether Mennonite ministries were expanding beyond the means of church members, or whether the incomes of church members could justify greater expansion. Materials include correspondence, income questionnaires from Mennonite conferences, reports, and miscellaneous materials.
Annual reports documenting the number of books and other materials for sale in the inventory of the Mennonite Publishing House. Books are inventoried by title. Also includes information about the amount and value of printing supplies (paper, ink, etc.) and printing equipment at the Mennonite Publishing House when inventory was taken.
