The Aurdal Lutheran Church Records consist of copies of original church documents. The first document is their constitution, which was translated from Norwegian by Reverend H. E. Haughland in January 1961. There is also a list of the pastors who served Aurdal from 1888 until May 1944. Next are meeting minutes in English from November 19, 1923 to July 19, 1964. These minutes are from annual meetings as well as special meetings. Meeting topics include fundraisers, work and renovation projects, and elections of officers. Also included are assorted financial records.
Additionally, there is the North Dakota State Department of Health cemetery registration for 1932, a small drawing showing the acreage belonging to Aurdal Church, and a program for the sixtieth anniversary, celebrated June 10, 1945. The final two folders include untranslated Norwegian documents, a book of meeting minutes, and other church information, 1883-1964.
The materials were deposited by Dr. Curtis W. Stofferahn of the UND Sociology Department. Stofferahn is the great-grandson of Syvert E. Strand, one of the first trustees of Aurdal Lutheran Church.
