- W148424654 abstract "of Christ surveyed the records held by its 160 local congregations.1 The survey had its genesis in 1976, when enthusiasm for historical matters led the Conference to create a state-level historical committee. Among other responsibilities it was charged with encouraging and educating churches in the preservation of their historical records. The committee, composed of lay volunteers, soon recognized that it had little idea of the kinds or quantities of records which might be found in parish collections, let alone how they should be preserved. In its dilemma the committee turned to the Minnesota Historical Society, hoping that the society's field representatives might be able to conduct a survey for it. That notion was impracticable, but the society did encourage an application to the National Historical Publications and Records Commission for financial support for a full-scale survey. Four years (and many grant applications) later, sufficient funds had been secured from federal, state, and private agencies to begin a four-goal project. The aims were: (1) to survey local church records; (2) to compile and publish a guide to the materials surveyed; (3) to heighten awareness of the significance of church records and the importance of preserving them; and (4) to train persons responsible for church records in appropriate preservation techniques. The grant monies for the project, which took two and a half years to complete, totaled $48,000. Principal grants came from the NHPRC, the Minnesota Historical Society, and the F. R. Bigelow Foundation of St. Paul. The Greater Minneapolis Union of Churches, a small agency related to the denomination, provided additional grants. The original plans had called for a one-year project funded at $36,000. When it became apparent that the program could not be finished on schedule, an adjusted work plan and a second, smaller round of grants permitted continuation at a lower level of activity. The Conference's soft-match contribution, budgeted at $33,000, included the time spent by its executives, the time given by respondents and other volunteers, and the value of office space, equipment, and some services. The project staff consisted of a full-time director and a half-time assistant for clerical and research tasks. After the first year both staff compensation and number of hours dropped as the funding diminished. The staff reported to Conference administrators and to the state-level historical committee," @default.
