Massachusetts conference minutes
Although the organization has changed names many times over the years, there has been at least one conference or association of Congregational churches in Massachusetts for more than two hundred years. Like many organizations, they have held annual meetings and published the minutes of those meeting for their constituents. They also include annual statistics for member congregations and clergy. Listed here are links to scanned copies of the minutes of annual meetings from 1807 to 2003.
The General Association of Massachusetts and the General Conference of the Congregational Churches of Massachusetts merged in 1868 to form the General Association of the Congregational Churches of Massachusetts.
Please note that the bound volumes from which these records were scanned often span multiple years and organizational name changes. You may have to page through or do a search within the volume to find your desired year.
