OVERVIEW Minnesota Historical Society Creator:Episcopal Church. Diocese of Minnesota. George C. Tanner papers. 1854-1918. The papers of George Clinton Tanner, registrar of the diocese (diocesan historian) from 1878 to 1920, consist largely of notes, manuscripts, and transcripts of materials relating to 19th century diocesan and parish history. 5.8 cu. ft. (17 boxes). See Detailed Description section for shelf locations. SCOPE AND CONTENTS

Tanner's papers include a draft of his "Fifty Years of Church Work in the Diocese of Minnesota" (published as History of the Diocese of Minnesota 1857-1907, St. Paul, 1909); biographical notes and articles on early missionaries and clergymen, especially Ezekiel G. Gear, James Lloyd Breck, Timothy Wilcoxson, Solon W. Manney, John C. Chamberlaine, Edward Livermore, E. Steele Peake, and bishops Henry B. Whipple and Jackson Kemper; addresses and articles on the diocesan schools in Faribault, particularly Shattuck School; notes and articles on missionary work among the Ojibwe Indians and white settlers and on early church work (1850s-1870s) in general; copies of letters and diaries of Breck, Peake, Manney, Kemper, and others; and reminiscences of Bishop Whipple. A file of Tanner's sermons and addresses is also present.

The parish histories consist largely of Tanner's notes and correspondence on the history of most of the early Episcopal parishes in Minnesota, arranged alphabetically by name of community. They concentrate almost exclusively on 19th century parish history. There are also letters to Tanner, mainly during the 1890s, from ministers and other people connected with various churches, giving more historical details. A few typescript and printed histories, newspaper clippings, communicant and baptism records, financial records, articles of incorporation, deeds, minutes, sermons, and 20th century brochures and programs are also present; some post-date Tanner. Files on a few other church institutions in Minneapolis and St. Paul are included.
