Missionary Lyceum records, 1834 - 1871.

The records of the Missionary Lyceum survived in five volumes of varying sizes, entitled Account book, Records, Register, Correspondence, and Letter book. In the fall of 1978, in order to preserve them longer, the letters were removed from the letter book, put into folders, and the decaying volume discarded. An alphabetical index of letter-writers was made. The small amount of correspondence in the Correspondence volume was also removed and the volume discarded.
