Covers the period 1905 to 1962. Most of the collection, however, dates between 1948 and 1959. Contain letters, course notes, missions reports, business documents, bibliographies, manuscripts, associated work by colleagues and students, and general missions literature. Though there is a small collection of personal correspondence, the collection is mainly made up of institutional and academic treatments of missions and missions work. Most of this collection was compiled by Beaver during his time at the Missionary Research Library in New York and during his first few years as a professor of Missions at the University of Chicago's Federated Theological Faculty.
