Ledgers of Assets and Liabilities, Operating and Non-Operating Income and Expenses for the Motherhouse and the Hospitals and Homes owned and operated by the Poor Handmaids after 1936. In 1936 the American Province of the Poor Handmaids obtained a loan from the Northwest Mutual Life Insurance Company in order to consolidate the debt on all properties owned and operated by the community. In connection with this loan, all the property was transferred to the Ancilla Domini Sisters, Inc., and mortgaged to the insurance company. All other corporations of the Poor Handmaids were dissolved. At this time new accounting procedures were introduced to manage the mortgaged properties. These procedures produced a) a 10" X 24" Ledger of Consolidated Cumulative Statements for the years 1937-1961. The data in this ledger are derived from monthly reports sent to the motherhouse and kept in b) a General Ledger of Assets and Liabilities by designated accounts for the Motherhouse and Hospitals for the years 1938-1962 compiled from monthly reports sent to the Motherhouse. This information is continued for the Motherhouse for 1963-1970 in c) an Account Ledger, and for 1970-1980 in d) Monthly Interim Financial Statements. There is also e) an incomplete series of Monthly Interim Financial Statements for 1980-1985 for Ancilla Domini Health Services and the Hospitals. In these ledgers assets, liabilities, income and expenses are all separated into numerous accounts. For the period covered by the Consolidated Cumulative Statements Ledger (1937-1961) only end-of-year reports and General Ledger pages were retained. All ledger pages and reports were retained for the period after 1961. The material was put into folders and the binders discarded. Financial information for the period before 1937 for the Hospitals and Homes as well as Schools and Orphanages can be found in quarterly and annual reports sent to the Motherhouse which are located in Independent Series.
