Biographical / HistoricalThe China Records Project was initiated by the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A in 1968.The aim of the project was to insure the preservation of the personal records of former missionaries toChina and to provide a central repository where these papers would be available to historians. The YaleDivinity School Library was chosen as this central repository in 1969 and has continued to solicit and acceptChina-related papers since that time.

The first Protestant missionary to China was Robert Morrison, who arrived in 1807. Elijah ColemanBridgman was the first American missionary to China, sent by the American Board of Commissioners forForeign Missions in 1829. Protestant missionaries were active in China until ca. 1950 when they were forcedto leave by the new Communist government.

Scope and ContentsThe collection consists of more than 380 boxes, with no individual accounting for more than three linearfeet. Some collections that were formerly part of this record group have now been given separate recordgroup numbers.

The papers in the first series of this collection are arranged alphabetically by name. When the informationwas available, each missionary's sending agency, geographical location in China and period of service havebeen noted. A key to abbreviations used to represent the mission sending agencies is given below. Thedesignation "L" in the indications of period of service means that these are approximate dates derivedfrom listings in available copies of the Directory of Protestant Missions in China (1902, 1904-05, 1908-11,1916, 1921, 1923-24, 1926-30, 1932-36, 1940, 1950). An asterisk following the name of an individual meansthat at least a portion of the papers of that individual are available on microfilm (and therefore accessiblevia Interlibrary Loan)and through the Adam Matthew "China Through Western Eyes" database: http://www.researchsource.amdigital.co.uk/ASChina.

Some photographs in the collection have been digitized and are available through the Internet MissionPhotography Archive (IMPA) - http://www.usc.edu/isd/archives/arc/digarchives/mission/. If availabilityin IMPA is indicated, search the IMPA database using the name of the individual, e.g., search for "EdwardAbbott Papers."

The records in this collection include biographical information, correspondence, diaries and journals,writings, printed material, tape recordings, artifacts, photographs and maps. The medical, educational andevangelical work of both men and women missionaries in China is reflected in the material. Social issues

Page 12 of 138


such as footbinding, opium reform, education of women, cruelty to animals and child labor are also touchedupon. The material is particularly valuable for the descriptions of daily missionary life and work whichit provides. Missionary opinion about major social and political issues is less prevalent in the material,although personal accounts of some political events (such as the Boxer Rebellion and the internment ofmissionaries by the Japanese) are given.

The Oral History Transcripts of Series II are from the China Missionaries Oral History Project conducted atClaremont Graduate School in Claremont, CA in the early 1970s.
