This collection incorporates the extant correspondence and related documents of the General Council's executive and sub-executive for the period 1925 to 1983. The materials consist of correspondence to and from the executive, reports, minutes, petitions and legal judgements, all relative to the work of the General Council's executive bodies and officers. A chronological order has been maintained throughout.

The collection covers a wide variety of topics and is not easily described except in the most general sense. The majority of the material however, relates to the work of the Secretary of General Council and the concerns of the executive responsibilities of the Church. The collection is involved with the sale of properties, financial matters, the educational, legal, jurisdictional and theological concerns of the clergy and membership. The post-war period is especially involved with church extension and consolidation and the ecumenical links of the United Church.

In studying this finding aid, while great detail is suggested, in fact, many documents are not noted. For instance, appointments and resignations, routine acknowledgements, licensing of laity, commendations, local and non-property information are generally omitted. For this reason, the descriptive paragraphs are simply guides to the holdings. Furthermore, a single designation such as "re Albert College" may encompass a number of documents scattered chronologically through a file. Important topics may also extend over several files and even several years. Hence, each document in each file should be examined to determine the real and full extent of the information available on any given topic.

Remember, this finding aid is only a guide, not a comprehensive catalogue of the documentation. This collection should also be used in conjunction with other General Council series and with the related information found in the Papers of the Church's boards and departments.
