Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Conference of Swedish Lutheran Churches in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The Collection consists primarily of minute books, membership lists, reports, ephemera, financial records and some miscellaneous correspondence. The Conference was established by the Swedish Lutherans in the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. These papers, with the exception of those dealing with Coeur d'Alene College, concern Oregon and Washington. For a history of the Conference, see the two volumes at the beginning of the collection in Box 1.
The papers relate to the Conference as a whole, to the Women's Missionary Society, as a whole and to various districts, to the Bethel Church in Seattle, and to other units within the organization. Because of the Swedish origins, much of the material is in Swedish.
Includes the district records of Bethel Church, Seattle, the Tacoma District, and Coeur d'Alene College, Idaho.
