Extent

1.25 Linear Feet In 3 manuscript boxes.

Scope and Contents

The Sunday School Books series contains small books and ledgers used by the Sunday School of the First Unitarian Church. Lists of names of teachers and students can be found in the Attendance Records Ledgers and the Directory and Secretary's Book. The books on the Annual Meetings of Teachers and the Sunday School Journal account the operations and concerns of the school. Sunday School classes were conducted by the Church of the Saviour at the Wall Street Ferry House on Furman Street until the building of Willow Place Chapel in 1876. Thus, it should be noted that the books in this series span the time before and after the building of the chapel and those interested in the Congregation's Sunday School should also check the Willow Place Chapel series. Some additional records on the Church's school can be found in the Subject Files series. Some financial records of the Sunday School can be found in the Financial Records series.
