Race to Palestine trophy, 1915
Scope and Contents
Calvary Baptist Church of Boston, Massachusettes collection spans the years 1904 to 2005 over five boxes.
There are several hundred membership cards listing members' contact and personal information kept by the church. The membership folder holds a directory, as well as a calendar from 1952 listing members' birthdays.
The legal and financial documents folders primarily deal with the ownership and construction of the church buildings from Shawmut Avenue and Ashmont Street.
The contents of the correspondence folder and the papers from inside ledgers folder were both found inside the bound ledgers, primarily from inside the cover of the Svenska Templet newsletter.
Most of the photographs were too large for folders and are placed loose into the boxes. The majority of the photographs are unlabeled pictures of groups of people or individuals.
The blueprints are from 1935 for the Ashmont Street building.
The trophy is engraved "Presented to The Pi Theta Class by The Baraca Class Commemorating the Race to Palestine July 3rd 1915." The plaque from the organ reads "Presented by Mr. and Mrs. C.W.L. Anderson in memory of their children Carl Edward and Edith Cecelia April 26, 1936."
