- United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Board of Missions for Freedmen Records
- Description
-
At the conclusion of the Civil War in 1865, the General Assembly (PCUSA--Old School) appointed a Committee for Education of Freedmen, to establish churches and schools. At the 1870 reunion, this committee merged with the Freedmen's Department of the New School Committee of Home Missions; the new committee was named Committee of Missions for Freedmen. In 1883, the Freedmen's Committee was formally incorporated as the Board of Missions for Freedmen. The new board, like its predecessors, helped to educate and supply black teachers and preachers in the southern United States. It built and supported black schools, churches, colleges and seminaries and prescribed courses of study to be used. In 1923, the Freedmen's Board merged with other boards and agencies to become the Board of National Missions. This collection consists of the records of the Board of Missions for Freedmen and its predecessors. The collection includes annual reports, correspondence, minutes, and application books.
