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.
These items are available in microfilm format, or rolls of film with micro images of the pages on each film.
Microfilm rolls may not leave the library, and need a microfilm reader to use.
Please use our “Ask The Archivist” form to request any rolls of microfilm and make an appointment to use the microfilm readers.
Make sure to include the title of the publication as well as the years/volumes/rolls of the title that you are interested in.
