Scope and Contents
The Oscar Schuleen papers span the dates from 1902, when he immigrated to America, and 1959, when he died.
The Connecticut and Massachusetts folder deals with his time as pastor in New Britain, Connecticut and Worcester, Massachusetts. The folder holds his ordination certificate from 1907. Clevelend, Ohio folder contains mostly bulletins from the church he pastored there.
There are three Correspondence folders. The general folder spans everything that does not fall under the correspondence written during Schuleen's time in Cleveland or California.
The Human Immortality paper is a 62 page document in Swedish that looks like it may have been a school essay, possibly during his time at the University of Chicago.
