A more complete finding aid for this collection is available at the Southern Historical Collection. Fellowship of Southern Churchmen. Early papers, 1937-1944, are largely copies of reports and publications and some material relating to Howard Kester, general secretary of the Fellowship from 1937 to 1944, Thomas B. Cowan, chairman from 1937 to 1946, and Charles M. Jones, acting general secretary in 1944. The largest portion of the collection consists of the office files, 1945-1949, of Nelle Morton, general secretary at the organization's headquarters in Chapel Hill, N.C., including routine correspondence concerning membership, conferences, applications and acceptances of work camp staff, and project planning. Kester's files contain information about relations with other organizations and individuals with similar interests and the Fellowship's financial structure.
Later materials are primarily membership lists.
