On the source documents.

These PDFs are the published documents of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, hosted here as a public service. Most are scans of the original printed editions; quality varies, and the earliest volumes are in German Fraktur.

Where the archive holds multi-volume splits (1950 and 1953 proceedings) we list each volume separately. The 1995 workbook is represented only by its addendum — the main workbook for that year is not in the public archive.

Convention years missing from this catalog (e.g. 1971, 1977, 1985 workbooks) reflect gaps in the source archive, not in the convention calendar. Contact us if you can provide a copy.
