| Admin history: | From 1836 to the end of 1894[?], the Colonial Missionary Society was a Committee of the Congregational Union of England and Wales – hence the minutes up to that date are actually Committee minutes and not Board Minutes. The minute books (Board and Committees) were brought from Memorial Hall in July 1966. |
