The records of the Montreal-Ottawa Conference of the United Church are arranged in the following series:

Papers of associations at this level generally include the files of Sabbath School associations, ministerial associations, missionary societies, and theological colleges. A number of interdenominational clergy and mission groups are also represented; while a special series of correspondence, minutes, and conference reports covers the debates concerning union, 1906-1925.

    Minutes of the Conference, and of the Conference-based Women's Missionary Society, Women's Union and United Church Women, are extant from the time of Union.

Also included are records of the Joint Theological Colleges of McGill University and of the United Theological College, 1912-1948.
