Scope and Contents of the Collection
The materials that comprise the American Missionaries and Educators in China
collection originated from Claremont Graduate School's Oral History Program. In 1969
the China Missionaries Project began, creating oral histories for 44 individuals who
served as missionaries or educators in China. During the course of this project
several of the missionaries and educators donated their papers to Honnold/Mudd
Library Special Collections.
The collection contains many different types of materials, including correspondence,
diaries, writings, photographs, reports, article clippings, and booklets. The
collection covers the years 1889-1972 with the bulk of the material ranging from
1910-1950.
In processing this collection, the documents were organized by individuals
represented in the collection, divided into series for the larger sets of personal
papers, and arranged in chronological order.
