Scope and Content

This series contains minutes of ordinary general, council, annual general, special, executive committee, editorial committee and sub-committee meetings. There is a gap in the records from 1948 to 1956. There are nearly 400 minutes for the general ordinary meetings, which discussed submitted papers and news regarding Christianity and science, these meetings appear to stop in 1948. The Council minutes document the governance of The Victoria Institute. There were annual general meetings which reviewed the objectives, work, finances, membership and news of the previous year. All other meetings appear to have been held on a more ad hoc basis.
