Records of conferences of which the CCT or ACPE were participants but not sole sponsors can be found in Series VIII, Related Organizations. The Regional Materials of Series V document the interface between the ACPE central office and its nine regions. Although the CCT did have regional divisions in the 1950s, it was only after the formation of the ACPE in 1967 that the authority to accredit training centers and certify supervisors became increasingly decentralized. It is now the regions which deal directly with the centers and supervisors, looking to the central office only for standards and advice. Series V includes correspondence between the central office and regional officers as well as records of regional meetings, conferences, and publications.
General material related to all the regions is followed by listings for each of the regions.
The first section of Series VI, Literature and Training Materials, includes more than two hundred folders of published and unpublished articles, papers and reports concerning issues and programs of the clinical pastoral education movement. Many of these were written by individuals active in the ACPE or its antecedent bodies and may be of interest to those researching the development of CPE policies and methodology. Writings by Anton T. Boisen in this section provide valuable documentation of his thoughts. The training materials in the second section of this series include examples of training programs, course schedules and requirements, bibliographies, and case studies. The records include correspondence and minutes of meetings of the Board of Managers and of the Editorial Committee, as well as general correspondence and materials pertaining to special projects undertaken by the Journal.
