From the General Commission on Archives and History of the United Methodist Church:
This collection provides important records for religious studies and area studies specialists. It includes correspondence to and from missionaries all over the world, providing a vivid snapshot of life in different regions of the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The letters contain personal information about the missionaries, details about the social conditions in the countries in which they served, and documentation of the Methodist Church’s evangelical and charitable efforts in foreign countries.
