The Records of the Board of Foreign Parishes are an accumulation of documentation created or collected by officers of the Board and bear the stamp of several Board members, primarily Lindley M. Franklin, Jr., Jeffrey Hill, and Conner Fay. The nearly complete archive includes financial records, minutes, property records, by-laws, charters, estate records, printed material, and insurance records.

Of particular interest in the collection are the business and financial records, notably the correspondence. Other records reflect the administrative involvement of the Board including charters, minutes, estates and real property documents.

The records of the Trustees of the Board of St. Paul’s Church comprises charters in both English and Italian, correspondence, property records, and financial records. Materials related to a major renovation of St. Paul’s in the mid-1970s round out the collection.

The records of the Convocation of American Churches in Europe (ACIE) includes administrative and financial records, correspondence, and some printed materials.

The records of the Trustees of the Board of St. James’ Church comprise administrative records, including the charter of incorporation and articles of association; estate and financial records; and printed and photographic materials. Also included are correspondence and financial records for the Friends of St. James, a group devoted to fund raising for the parish.

This is a small group of the Commission’s minutes and reports. Of note is a 1931 report by Frank Gavin on the condition of the Church in Europe and the Middle East, which was filed with the Committee on Ecclesiastical Relations as it was then known.
