Books
Some of these books have been published by the ELS Historical Society; others were published by the Lutheran Synod Book Company for the Evangelical Lutheran Synod and are of particular value to our understanding of the synod’s history.
Anniversary Medallions
The ELS Historical Society has produced commemorative medallions for the dual anniversaries of 2017 (quincentennial of the Lutheran Reformation) and 2018 (reorganization of the ELS). The medallions are just over 2 inches in diameter with a wider ribbon at the bottom, as shown in the picture.
Cost is $10 for Historical Society members. To order, send a check to "ELS Historical Society, 6 Browns Court, Mankato, MN 56001." Please include $2 more per medallion for shipping and handling. Medallions will also be available for purchase at the ELS Synod Convention in June 2018.

Oak Leaves is the publication of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod Historical Society.
During the anniversary years of 2017 and 2018, we would like to share our articles and pictures with a wider audience. Oak Leaves will contain many articles dealing with the historical events that brought the ELS (Norwegian Synod) into existence in 1918.
