Custodial history

Scope and content

The majority of the fonds consists of records relating to the Charlottetown Central Christian Church chapter of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. The minute books (1926-1928) record the weekly meetings and their activities such as the debates and topics for discussion that took place, methods of raising money for the support of the pastor, and visiting the sick members of the congregation. The record book for the Young People's Conference of the Church of Christ for PEI, contains records of the annual meetings (1931-1963), which took place at New Glasgow, Charlottetown, Murray Harbor, Montague and Summerside. These meetings consisted of the members of the Young People's Society gathering for a series of religious lectures. Also included in the fonds is a church register which contains an alphabetical listing of church members, changes within the parish relating to those who died and whose names where changed by marriage (1897-1954), and minutes of business meetings (1897-1946), which contain financial statements and church trustee reports.
