Bethlehem, like other Moravian congregational settlements, kept a community diary. These chronicles reflect important events, as well as everyday occurrences. Copies of the diary were sent to the Church headquarters in Europe where a summary was compiled (Gemeinachrichten) and circulated to the Moravian congregations.

English translations for the years 1742 through 1745 are provided courtesy of the Moravian Archives, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
