Scope and Contents of the Materials
The collection is divided into eight small series that are arranged chronologically. Since the function of the corporation is mostly of a financial and legal nature, most of the materials are legal and financial. The series include accounting documents, contracts and leases between the corporation and various parties, correspondence, some financial reports from 1923 to 1982, general ledgers from 1935-45 and from 1983, 1984, legal documents, minutes of the corporation and property records. Missing financial reports are available in the records of the Treasurer General. The accounting documents, which make up a large portion of the record group, are essentially simple financial reports that were drawn up by an auditor. They may not be the same as audited reports. The financial reports may or may not contain the same information, but they have been retained separately..
Collection Historical Note
SSE, Inc. was founded on 3 March 1921, under the laws of the State of Vermont, as a non-profit charitable corporation. Originally, SSE, Inc. handled the temporal affairs of the American Province of the SSE and was intended to succeed ‘St. Michael’s Institute’, an earlier Vermont corporation that had been founded in 1903. In 1930, SSE, Inc. assumed its current role as the civil law instrumentality of the Society’s entire administration, both in the U.S. and abroad. SSE, Inc. is run by a board of trustees who exercise a fiduciary responsibility for the corporation and elect its officers. Since 1930 the board and the corporation have been headed by the current Edmundite Superior General. His general councillors are also ex-officio members of the Board. The secretary and treasurer of SSE, Inc no longer need be members of the SSE.
