Primarily bound volumes of quarterly conference minutes for circuits, charges, and churches in the Baltimore, North Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia Conferences and other conferences, especially those in Lumpkin County, Georgia; Marion County, South Carolina; and Gates and Loudoun Counties, Virginia.

Many of the circuits, charges, and churches described in the North Carolina Conference Series were originally part of the South Carolina and Virginia Conferences.
