The Cathedral Films archive offers a well-rounded overview of both the administrative and creative aspects of Cathedral Films, Inc., and the two companies that formed as offshoots in the 1970s, Q-Ed Productions and Religious Films Corporation. Included are minutes and corporate records, legal documents, financial documents, scripts, promotional materials, and audio visual materials.

These records document the work of the General Field Services unit of the Executive Council’s Department of Christian Education, which provided consulting services to Episcopal dioceses, mission districts, and other Church organizations on educational issues. They include correspondence, printed materials, strategic planning documents, and forms and reports detailing field work done by departmental officers.

The complex, shifting, and sometimes obscure institutional reorganizations of Executive Council in the late 1960s and 1970s are partially reflected in this collection.

The collection comprises correspondence, minutes, surveys, reports, financial records, printed materials, photographic materials, audio-visual materials, maps, and charts dating from 1939 to 1978. The photographic materials include two cubic feet of prints and negatives and more than two thousand slides, which often topically parallel other records found in the collection.

The World Mission in Church and Society records document the efforts of the office to support schools, hospitals, and missions established during the Church's early overseas involvement. Correspondence, minutes, reports, studies, newsletters, and informational materials are included.
