(374 cards) Collection #: AR 795-633 Historical Sketch The Sunday School Board was formed in 1891 to produce Sunday school literature and books for use by Southern Baptists. The Board took over the publication of the Kind Words series which was produced to assist in Bible teaching for children. By early in the 20th century, the Board began to development curriculum for all ages, including children. American Baptist Publication Society was founded originally as the Baptist General Tract Society. The Society changed its name to the American Baptist Publication Society in 1844 and provided literature, book, tracts, and other religious material to Baptists in American. In the late 19th century, the Society began to publish children’s Sunday school material. Scope and Content Note: The Picture Lesson Cards Collection is a collection of publications of the American Baptist Publication Society and the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. The cards are usually 7.5 x 10 cm. and include a front image with text on the back. The images are primarily Bible scenes or depictions of children or family settings. Most of the items are dated for weekly use. The collection spans the years, 1904 – 1931. Many of the cards were originally glued into scrapbooks, which obscured the text on the verso. The cards were immersed in water and allowed to soak for a short period before the scrapbook pages could be removed. The cards were then dried and flattened. They are stored in clear archival sheets and filed in two loose-leaf notebooks. Arrangement: Arranged in chronological order. Provenance: Portions of the collection donated by Georgia Anglin (1988), Alice F. Voorhies (1989), and Peggy Hester (1996).
