 PREEACE
The Historical Records Survey was created in the winter of 1955-56 as
a nation¤wide‘Works Progress Administration project for the "discovery,
preservation and listing of basic materials for research in the history of
the United States." Under the direction of Dr. Luther H. Evans, the Survey
undertook an extensive program for the inventory of state and local
archives, early American imprints, church archives, and collections of
manuscripts. Pursuant to the provisions of the Emergency Relief Act passed
June 50, 1959, the existence of the Survey as a single nationawide project
A sponsored by WPA itself was terminated August 51, 1959. The work of the
Survey was continued within the individual states by locally sponsored
H projects operating within the national WBA Historical Records Survey, which
continued under the direction of Dr. Evans. Dr. Evans resigned and was
succeeded as national director by Mr. Sargent B. Child on March l, 1940.
The North Carolina Project of the Federal Historical Records Survey
was established February l, 1956, with Dr. C. C. Crittenden, Secretary of
the North Carolina Historical Commission, as director. Until November 1956
the Survey operated as an autonomous unit of the Federal Writers*_Pro3eet
div ctcd in North Carolina by Edwin Bjorkman. Dr• Crl““°ndCn rcslgnc as
stztc .·;. director June 50, 1957, and was succeeded by Mr. Dan Lacy, who had
previously served as assistant state director. The work of the North Caro-
lina unit of the Historical Records Survey was continued by the North Caro-
lira Historical Records Survey Project established September 1, 1959.
Mr. Lacy resigned as state supervisor on April 1, 1940, to accept an ap-
poirtnent as assistant to the director of Historical Records Survey
Irojccts in'Washington, D. C., and was succeeded by Mr. Colbert F. Crutch-
field, who resigned on December 7, 1941, to accept a position as state
supervisor of the Research and Records Program in North Carolina. He was
.. succeeded by Hr. M. A. Rushton, Jr., as acting state supervisor, The pro-
gram, since its inception, has been sponsored and aided in every possible
way by the North Carolina Historical Commission. A
The purpose of the manuscript phase of the program is to make available
l convenient guides to manuscript collections in the United States, To date
A the North Carolina project has issued, in addition to other types of publi— _
cations, the following volumes in the manuscripts field; "Guide to Manu-
script Collections in the Duke University Library" (mimeographod, 1959);

g INTRODUCTION
I}
_ » E The Moravian Church, or Unitas Fratrunn is the oldest of Protestant
Q denominations, In 1415 the great Bohemian reformer, John Hhs, was burned
*j at the stake, Forty—two years later, in 1457, near Kunwald in Bohemia, his
ii followers formed an association, the Unitas Fratrum {Unity of Brethren), to
·@ foster pure scriptural teaching and apostolic discipline, Though subject
jj to continued persecution by the Roman Catholic Church, the union increased
ji steadily in membership and importance, and early in the sixteenth century;
Q in Bohemia and Moravia, is said to have had more than 400 churches, from
:1 150,000 to 200,000 members, and its own schools and printing houses in
{ nearly every large town.
,; Opposition of the Roman Catholic Church increased, however, and in the
* Counter-Reformation of the seventeenth century the Brethren were overthrowns
E By the middle of the century they had been practically destroyed. Large
§ numbers of them had perished in the Thirty Years! War, and of those who had
§ survived many had fled into Hungary, Saxony, Holland, and Poland. In those
5 countries, as well as in Bohemia and Moravia, the Unitas Fratrum survived
` i only in scattered communities, John Amos Comenius, last bishop of the
‘ United Church, died in Amsterdam in 1670, Before his death, however, he had
y provided for the consecration of new bishops, in this manner preserving the
{ valid episeopate of the Ancient Unity; which had been secured in 1467,
Q In 1722, under the leadership of Christian David, journeyman carpenter,
f' a small group of persons from Moravia received permission to settle at
, Berthelsdorf, the estate in Saxony of the nobleman, Nicholas Lewis, Count
Q Zinzendorf, The group named their village "Horrnhut," and eventually, with
fé other colonists from Moravia and Germany, formed an association which per-
’# petuated the traditions of the Ancient Unity, `With the help of Count‘
j Zinzendorf, a set of rules and regulations was drawn up and on May 12, 1727,
Q the first "Brotherly Agreement" was signed by the men and women of Herrnhut,
J In 1735 the Moravian episeopate was transferred to the association and the
lj Renewed Unitas Fratrunh or Moravian Church, was established.
as In the same year, under the leadership of August Gottlieb Spangenberg,
L the Moravians attempted a first settlement on the continent of North America
§i at Savannah, Georgia, The settlement proved temporary, however, and in 1740 V
Q the Moravians removed to Pennsylvania, where in 1741 Bishop David Nitschmann
*` and his associates founded the town of Bethlehem. The British Parliament in
Y 1749 passed an act recognizing the Unitas Fratrum as "an ancient Protestant
{ Episcopal Church," and granting to it pri*ileges in English colonies which
Q Wore not enjoyed by any other denomination save the Church of England,
; l. A printed copy of the proceedings of the Parliament is in the
j Salem Archives,

  ,3
A Introduction 2
E This act was a factor in the establishment of a Moravian colony in North
Q Carolina in 1755,
 '$
{ In that year a tract of 98,985 acres of land was purchased in the
·i piedmont plateau of North Carolina from John, Earl of Granville. Since
E the Moravian Church then had no incorporated body, title to this tract was
Q taken by a "preprietor," or trustee, a succession of proprietors serving
Q until the latter part of the nineteenth century, when local church boards
Q were incorporated in North Carolina, The tract was called "Wachau"
Q (Wachovia) for an estate in southern Austria which had formerly belonged
ii to the Zinzondorf family, In the land company, "Dor Nord Carolina Land und
[ Colonic Etablissemont," which was organized to finance tho enterprise, each
{ stockholder received 2,000 acres, Subsequent to the southern settlement,
Q the two geographical divisions of the Moravian Church in America were known
{ as the northern and southern provinces, The southern moravians, having
ij made no marked effort toward extension, have continued to be associated with
Q; the area around Winston-Salem in North Carolina,
gé The first settlement in North Carolina, known as Bethabara, was made
gi in 1755 several miles from the present city of Winston-Salem. The central
, town of Salem was settled in 1766, When Forsyth County was erected in
L 1849, Salem lay almost in the center of it, The Congregation Council {see
- _· below) having agreed to sell the necessary land, a county seat was conse-
' quently located just north of Salem, In 1851 the state legislature named
y` this scat Winston. Salem was incorporated in l856~57, the incorporation
i‘ marking the separation of town and church affairs, Winston was incorporated
§: in 1859, In May 1915 the two towns, by a large majority vote in each, be-
`: came one municipality,
)y Government of the Moravian Church is conferential. A Congregation
gi Council, composed of communicant members who have reached the age of twentys
ij one years, rules as to local affairs and elects boards to serve between
» ·§ meetings of the council, Elected delegates from each congregation compose
*Y the Provincial Synod, which transacts provincial business and elects pro-
., vincial boards, Delegates from the Moravian provinces in the United States,
if from the British province, from the Continental province, and from the
{Q mission fields, constitute a General Synod, which acts on matters affecting
jg the international Mhravian Church and its world—wide missions,
ZQ The Archives of the Moravian Church in America, Southern Province, ,
.€  ,,; . generally called the Salem Archives, make up a collection which has been
· d gradually accumulated since 1755, From earliest years the minister of
E] each established congregation in North Carolina was expected to keep church
I Q records, These records were gradually assembled in the heme of the leading
IQ Moravian minister, resident in Salem, Later they were moved to other
iw quarters, together with copies of certain archival materials sent by
`I northern congregations for the information of the Salem congregation, and
7 copies of the proceedings and certain other records of the synods and con-
`N"` 2 fcrcncos of the Moravian Church, In 1911 an archivist was appointed, The
y survey of the archives was made in 1956, and accessions since that date are
~ { not included in the guide,

, ·§ The present guide lists papers dealing with the Unitas Fratrum as a
Q whole, the northern and southern provinces, individual churches, and
fi Moravian missionary work; historical accounts; church music; maps; papers
Q collected by individual Moravians; and personal and miscellaneous papers,
, ,{ The collection comprises, notably, synodical and conference minutes, manu~
, script forerunners of the church newspapers of today, minutes of church
{ boards and congregation councils, church registers, diaries kept by leading
E ministers in each congregation, memorabilia, or annual records of community
Q and world events, memoirs, travel diaries, letters, and account books, Of
{ interest also are the papers of the various diaconies organized for the
, control of the financial affairs of a given congregation or choir, and those
Y of the choirs, or groups of members classified according to age, sex, and
A condition in life,
y Records afford material along many lines other than religious, The
4 diaries kept by the ministers give an unusually detailed and interesting
? account of life in`Wachovia, Since the ministers did not confine thcmp
if selves to congregational matters, their diaries cover many topics, as, for
Q instance, the weather, political developments, economic conditions, taxes,
E prices, social conditions, the Negro question, war-time experiences, noted
§ visitors, and medicine and surgery, The carefully kept church books
§ furnish valuable genealogical information,
3
i The majority of the manuscripts prior to about 1856 are in German,2
{ particularly the diaries and minutes, Some English was spoken in Wachovia
{ from the time of the first settlanent, however, and its use increased year
_ § by year. Today all records are kept in English,
