Scope and Contents
The Maine Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church began in 1825 when the New England Conference divided. It was split into two Conferences (East Maine and Maine) in 1848 until 1922 when they merged again as the Maine Conference. In 1994 it merged with the New Hampshire and Southern New England Conferences to form the New England Conference. The Portland District was first designated when? and was known by that name until 1970 when the name was changed to the Southern Maine District.
The Portland/Southern Maine District Collection contains files on local congregations which kept in the District Office starting around 1938 (though there are some documents from earlier dates) until 1993. During that time several New Hampshire Congregations were part of the Maine Conference. Conway and Conway Center were transferred to New Hampshire Conference on June 15, 1956. Berlin and made the transition in 1962. There are also some congregations in the collection which were once part of the Augusta District until date (1948 in Brunswick).
Arrangement
The documents in the Portland/Southern Maine District Business Collection include Annual Reports (including some 1st and many 4th Quarterly Conference reports), deeds, charters, policy documents, gifts, wills, capital improvements and meeting minutes. It also contains correspondence between the district superintendents and the pastors and laity of the district pertinent to appointments, shared ministry, property matters and other church business. There are also many lists of congregation members and leaders throughout.
The files are organized generally by location (and congregation in the case of multiple congregations in one town). Multiple point charges often share folders (i.e. Orrs and Bailey’s Islands).
There are many records of Annual meetings (4th Quarterly Conferences) which include reports for each year (financial, Sunday School etc.) These were generally held within the first few months of the following year. For example the Annual meeting (or Fourth Quarterly Conference) containing reports from 1945 might have been held in April of 1946. Such reports are filed according to the date of the Annual meeting.
Bulletins, photographs, church history booklets and other artifacts from these same congregations can be found in the historical files.
