SERIES 2: RECORDS RELATING TO ANGOLA. – 1925-1961. – 2 m of textual records. – 890 photographs. The Angola Mission was originally an American mission to which the Canadian Congregational Church contributed missionaries and means. After the negotiations between the United Church and the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (Congregational) after 1925, the work was divided. The Angola West Africa Mission of the United Church with its Mission Council [of missionaries] which included participation by the Woman's Missionary Society. The American mission was referred to as the West Central Africa Mission, and later as the Angola Mission. Representatives of both of the above Missions met as the Board of Trustees with some African representation to deal with matters concerning the central institutions at Dondi; they also met annually in joint meetings of the Angola West Africa Mission and the West Central Africa Mission until 1952. Beginning in 1953, these joint meetings included the Church Council of the Church of Christ in Angola. These meetings were replaced, between 1956 and 1957, by the Council of the Evangelical Church in Central Africa which merged the church and missions, effectively extending control of the work to the indigenous Angolan Church. A Committee of Missionaries [Canadian and American] was established in 1957. Series consists of minutes the Angola West Africa Mission Council, 1927-1956; minutes of the annual joint meetings of the West Central Africa Mission and Angola West Africa Mission, 1926-1952; minutes of the Board of Trustees of the Central Institutions at Dondi, 1926-1934 and 1943-1959; minutes of joint meetings of the Angola West Africa Mission, Angola Mission, and Angola Church Council, 1953-1956; minutes of the General Assembly of the Council of Evangelical Churches in Central Angola, 1956-1961; minutes of annual meetings of the Committee of Missionaries [Canadian and American], 1957-1962; minutes of the Joint Consultative Committee re Africa [the Canadian and American Home Boards], 1926-1961; correspondence of the mission secretaries and treasurers with the Board Secretaries; correspondence of individual missionaries; and reports of educational and medical work at Dondi; photographs taken during the trip to Angola of the Board Secretary, Dr. David Gallagher, and Rev.

SERIES 3: RECORDS RELATING TO BRITISH GUIANA. – 1925-1927. – 3 cm of textual records. After the formation of The United Church of Canada in 1925, this former Presbyterian mission station was retained by the continuing Presbyterian Church in Canada, and some of the United Church missionaries serving here worked under the direction of the Presbyterian Church. A.E. Armstrong was a Board Secretary during this period and had previously been a Secretary of the Presbyterian Church in Canada Board of Foreign Missions. Series includes correspondence between A.E. Armstrong and the missionaries, concerned with their disposition to stay in or leave British Guiana. All researchers using these records must sign a "United Church of Canada Archives Research Agreement" since these records may include personal information on Church staff, members, or clients (Form 26).


SERIES 4: RECORDS RELATING TO CHINA. – 1925-1952. – 8.3 m of textual records The United Church of Canada took responsibility for Methodist and Presbyterian missions in China after 1925. The work was carried out with the cooperation of the Woman's Missionary Society and with the growing Church of Christ in China. The missions carried out educational, medical and evangelistic work throughout this period characterized by anti-foreign agitation, Japanese invasion and civil war. Missionary activity continued until 1952 when the last missionaries left after the establishment of the new Communist government in China. Series consists of the following subseries: records relating to West China, 1910-1965; Church of Christ in China records, 1929-1957; records of the Honan Mission, 1912-1952; records relating to South China, 1925-1953; and records re China in general and of interchurch bodies. All researchers using these records must sign a "United Church of Canada Archives Research Agreement" since these records may include personal information on Church staff, members, or clients (Form 26). See related materials in the following fonds: See also Presbyterian Church in Canada Board of Foreign Missions fonds (122) for records on preceding Presbyterian China Missions and Methodist Church (Canada) Missionary Society fonds (14) for records on preceding Methodist China Missions. Subseries 1: Records Relating to West China. – 1910-1965, predominant 1925-1952. – 3 m of textual records. The West China Mission was the largest mission of the United Church of Canada. This Mission was established as a Methodist mission in 1891, and transferred to The United Church of Canada in 1925. In 1926 there were some 90 names on the mission roll. Apart from 11 single women, teachers in the Canadian school for missionaries’ children or nurses in the Board of Foreign Missions; hospitals, the others were all couples with children. Age, deaths, often sudden, sometimes violent, ill health and the Depression combined to reduce the numbers and seriously affected the scope and efficacy of the work. The constant civil war followed by the Japanese invasion and the communist take-over caused many evacuations which often resulted in the permanent loss of mission personnel and thus added to the attrition referred to above. When it became clear that, in spite of earlier hopes, work under the Communist regime would be impossible, the Board, in 1951, ordered the few remaining missionaries home. Subseries consists of Section I: Papers of the Board of Overseas Missions Associate Secretary relating to West China, which consists of correspondence, reports, and documents from the Board Secretaries and the missionaries dealing with medical, educational and evangelistic work and matters of finance, property, mission staffing and conditions and the Mission Press, 1925-1952; Section II: West China Union University which consists of correspondence, reports and minutes of various committees of West China Union University, 1926-1954; and Section III: Minutes of the Mission Councils (1929-1949) and West China Union University Bodies (1910-1950), Section IV: Records of Canadian School (1925-1968). All researchers using these records must sign a "United Church of Canada Archives Research Agreement" since these records may include personal information on Church staff, members, or clients (Form 26).


SECTION I: PAPERS OF THE BOARD OF OVERSEAS MISSIONS ASSOCIATE SECRETARY RELATING TO WEST CHINA (1925-1952)

During the period 1925-1952, the mission was served by three Mission secretaries: Mortimore, Bell and Veals, with Hibbard acting during Bell’s furloughs. The Board Secretaries were Endicott, Arnup and Gallagher. In this collection the Secretarial Files give a comprehensive view of what the mission was trying to accomplish in Szechwan, the methods, the institutions and the problems. They also cover a good deal of routine relating to missionary health and logistics, property, mission finances, scholarship students, communications between stations on the field, travel, mail services between the field and home base. There is also considerable comment on the relations of the mission with the Synod of the Chinese Church. The files of correspondence between the Board Secretaries and individual missionaries cover institutions, projects or special types of work of particular concern to the individual. The writers also deal with personal affairs and make comment on the general situation. Schools of all grades and hospitals, established by the earlier Methodist Mission in the major towns of the various Districts of the Synod of the Chinese Church, were carried on. In some areas Primary schools have been established in outlying districts also. However over the years the problem of providing adequate missionary supervision and Chinese Christian staff resulted in all of the primary and many of the middle schools being closed or transferred, usually by sale to Chinese secular management. In general the hospitals continued to function until they were taken over by the Communist regime. However, the same problem of foreign missionary supervision and adequate Chinese Christian staff was troublesome. A few reports of various hospitals for the years 1931-1939 can be found in box 14. The Mission Press was an important part of the work of the mission. One or two missionaries and a staff of Chinese Christians produced, either by original writing or translation, a body of Christian Literature which was used extensively by missions other than that of the UCC. This was especially true in the days of the Japanese occupation of the rest of China. The mission also had a Business Agency which handled the freight and other business of the mission as well as for the individual missionaries. In conjunction with the Agency there was also a Home which provided accommodation for outstation missionaries in Chungking for business or medical reasons and also for those passing through at the time of furlough or return from furlough.

SECTION II: WEST CHINA UNION UNIVERSITY (1926-1954) The material in the section covers the period which saw the anti-foreign campaign of 1927, the upheavals during the Sino-Japanese war, the uneven and changing relations with the Nationalist government and the eventual take-over of the University by the Communists. The West China Union University was, as its name implies, an interdenominational foundation. During this period its cooperating bodies came to include the Methodist Episcopal Church, U.S., the American Baptist Foreign Missionary Committee, the Friends Missionary Society and the Church Missionary Society. Files 1-70 contain correspondence for 1925-1952. It is in the main between the officers of the university with the North American supporters. There is some correspondence of individual missionaries and there is some directed to the United Church of Canada Mission Board Secretaries, Drs. Endicott and Arnup. There is a considerable amount of correspondence between the WCUU Board of Governors in New York and the constituent bodies in North America as well as the institution itself. After 1932 there is some correspondence with the WCUU Committee of the Associated Boards of Christian Colleges in China and later with the United Board for Christian Colleges in China. Subjects discussed range through relations with the Chinese government, finances, building programs, curriculum, religious education, military training, personnel, scholarships etc. Although the Communists took over in 1950, the correspondence between mission boards and the UBCCC continued until 1952 tidying up loose ends in finances. Files 71-127 are largely filled with minutes of various bodies within or connected with the university: Governors, Associated Board, etc. 31 envelopes contain a variety of printed material; Minutes of the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry, reports, historical accounts, a few catalogues and some miscellaneous papers. Two binders hold typed minutes of the Board of Directors (Chengtu) and the General Faculty. There are also bound volumes of Senate minutes, Faculty minutes and Faculty Bulletins.

SECTION IV: RECORDS OF CANADIAN SCHOOL IN WEST CHINA.

The Canadian Methodist Mission began, in 1903, to consider seriously the education of the children of it’s missionaries. Initially, asking that a teacher be sent by the Woman’s Missionary Society. In 1904, the Council strongly recommended and urged the opening of a boarding school in Chengdu. Following that, starting in 1906 the General Board of Missions made arrangements for the education in the homeland of children of Missionaries, often accompanied by their mother. In 1907, the General Board approved the recommendation of delegations – that the Mission Council make a thorough investigation of the whole question of needs, cost, income, and proposed usefulness of a boarding school in Chengtu. In 1908, Council recommended the opening of a boarding school in Chengtu, securing of a site, and that of a building, including a teacher’s dwelling and dormitory to accommodate forty pupils, be erected in the nex two years.

The Canadian School in West China was officially opened on March 9th, 1909.

SERIES 5: RECORDS RELATING TO CENTRAL INDIA. – 1925-1961. – 2 m of textual records. The Canadian presence in Central India dates from the Presbyterian Church in Canada mission of 1876. Like many other missions, this one was taken over at the time of union by The United Church of Canada Mission Council, which continued (with the participation of the Woman's Missionary Society) to staff it throughout this period. The work included evangelism, educational and medical activities, in cooperation with the United Church of North India through the Malwa Church Council, which took control of the evangelistic work in 1949 and the rest of the work in 1956.

SERIES 6: RECORDS RELATING TO KOREA. – 1924-1961. – 1.4 m of textual records.

This mission, originally organized by the Presbyterian Church in Canada in 1898, passed to the United Church in 1925. Work in Korea was shared by the Board and the Woman's Missionary Society until 1961. The mission work was located in northern Korea until 1942 when it was closed due to the World War II. Missionaries returned again in 1947 but to a divided country and only after the Korean War did the conditions become more settled. The United Church worked in close association with the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea through a Joint Work Committee until 1961 when the Korean Church became self-supporting.

Series consists of correspondence of the mission secretaries with the Board; missionaries' correspondence; financial records; and reports and information re related bodies.

All researchers using these records must sign a "United Church of Canada Archives Research Agreement" since these records may include personal information on Church staff, members, or clients. (Form 26) See also United Church of Canada Board of World Mission fonds (503/12).

SERIES 7: RECORDS RELATING TO TRINIDAD. – 1925-1960. Canadian Presbyterian missionary activity in Trinidad commenced in 1868. With the establishment of The United Church of Canada in 1925, responsibility for some of the mission fields was allocated to the Board of Foreign Missions, after 1944 to the Board of Overseas Missions, and after 1962 to the Board of World Mission. The Woman's Missionary Society was also active until its integration with the Board of World Mission in 1962. The Presbyterian Church of Trinidad, with origins in 1930, increasingly took over direction of churches and schools from the foreign missionaries. Thus the Mission Council (Committee of Missionaries after 1956) gradually had its responsibilities reduced. In 1969, an agreement to discontinue this missionary relationship was finalized and by 1975 the last missionaries retired from the field. Series consists of minutes and correspondence of the Mission Council; minutes and correspondence of the Committee of Missionaries; minutes and reports of the Committee on Women's Work; financial records; reports and correspondence of missionaries; and records of educational institutions.
