Collection Description
Photographs in this collection were selected from the archival and manuscript holdings of the Day Missions collection at the Yale University Divinity School Library, which include several thousand photographs documenting missionary and educational work in China from the late 19th century to 1950. Photographs in the archives of the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia focus on the work of the thirteen colleges and universities founded by Protestant mission agencies in China. Photographs in the personal papers of missionaries, who served under a variety of agencies in numerous provinces, provide a broad-based view of the spectrum of Protestant mission work in China. Medical, educational, and evangelistic endeavors are documented, as well as famine relief, rural reconstruction, athletics, and other aspects of the lives and work of American and British missionaries, and their Chinese students and colleagues.
