The program for the Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church annual observance of the Annual Women's Day (36th) was handed out to congregants on May 20, 1990.

The Vancouver Avenue Baptist Church began as the First Baptist Church of Burton Homes, a federal wartime housing project managed by the Vancouver Housing Authority (Washington state). Most of the people in this 1945 photo of an early service were employees of the Kaiser Shipyards. The church moved to the Bagley Downs housing project later that year, then to Vanport City in 1946, and finally to the Albina neighborhood in Portland after Vanport was flooded in 1948. The current building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance to the history of civil rights in Oregon.

Four photos show church services being conducted at Camp Crane Prairie and the Wickiup Bridge over the Deschutes River. Handwriting at the bottom of the page reads; "Camp History/See back on Page 19, for this data is included with that of the new Camp and location."

The unconfirmed note “Marylhurst College students 3/17/44” is written on the negative sleeve. The chapel, located in the administration building, later became the Wiegand Recital Hall and chapel. Marylhurst College, located in Marylhurst, Oregon, became Marylhurst University in 1998.
