Content Description

This collection contains one catalog for the Bluestone-Harmony Academic and Industrial School from 1935-1936, two Minutes of the annual session of the Harmony Baptist Sunday School Convention: 45th (1941), 46th (1942), and fourteen minutes of the annual session of the Bluestone Baptist Association: 39th (1910), 43rd (1914), 50th (1921), 51st (1922), 52nd (1923), 53rd (1924), 55th (1926), 58th (1929), 59th (1930), 67th (1938), 69th (1940), 73rd (1944), 75th (1946), 91st (1963). The minutes note church officers, constitutions of the associations, committee actions, and general announcements. The Bluestone Baptist Association was established around 1871, and an area of focus was the education of Black children in Charlotte, Lunenburg, and other surrounding counties. Successful in their creation of a school, the Harmony Association came into existence in 1877 for a similar goal. The two associations merged in 1900, and the Bluestone-Harmonic Academic and Industrial School was established in Keysville, Virginia. In addition to the minutes and catalog is a folder of research complied by the seller, including photocopied portions of “Charlotte County, Virginia: Historical, Statistical, and Present Attractions,” “History of the American Negro,” “Historic Architectural Survey of Charlotte County, Virginia,” and “The Bluestone-Harmonic Academic and Industrial School.” As well as printouts from the Bluestone Harmony Baptist Association and Ministries, Inc.
