Scope and Contents
This collection covers 4 boxes and spans from 1890 to 1989. The majority of the collection is made up of ledgers of meeting minutes, member lists, and finances.

The Old Records box series holds the documents that came from a box labeled "Old Records of the Grandview Baptist Church (Grand Avenue Baptist) Davenport, Iowa" and "Hedberg Insurance Agency."

The General folder holds various items such as the church By-Laws, choir meeting minutes, and handwritten notes, evidentily written by Perry.

The wood block pictures appear to be for plate printing. Of the oversized photographs, three are long rolls. Two are of the congregation in front of the church around the 1920s. The other is the Baptist General Conference annual meeting in St. Paul in 1944.
