Biographical / Historical

The Covenant Companion, the young people's magazine, was started in December 1923, under the editorship of G. F. Hedstrand. It contained 32 pages, half of which were devoted to general reading matter for young people, and half to material for Sunday school teachers. In October 1928, it was changed to a bi-weekly of 32 pages with a cover, and in November 1930, it was made into a weekly of sixteen pages. A new arrangement was made in January 1934, by which Förbundets Veckotidning and The Covenant Companion were combined, yet each keeping its own identity—a two-in-one combination. The Covenant Companion succeeded Covenant Weekly in 1959. This collection entails editions of The Covenant Companion from 1959 until the present.

Extent

1 Import (This collection is arranged by binding type, beginning with bound volumes and then progressing to unbound and sliced issues. Unbound and sliced issues are arranged alongside one another in chronological order. This was done to arrange the collection as chronologically as possible. Sliced copies were produced using additional unbound duplicates wherever possible. Sliced issues were placed in separate boxes from unbound issues for the earlier chronological end of this collection due to greater numbers of issues per year, and starting in the mid-1980s unbound and sliced copies were put in the same box.) : 82 boxes ; 26.2 linear feet
