Secretaries' files: Chile Mission, 1866-1972 (bulk: 1911-1955)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28424859

Mission minutes, various reports, correspondence files, Board letters, and statistical summaries dominate this collection, which includes the mission treasurer's files as well, such as mission property/financial records, many of which are in Spanish. The collection offers insights into the difficulty of mission work in Chile resulting from either governmental restrictions, cultural differences, interaction with the Roman Church, or philosophical differences between the missionaries serving in the field. Includes material relating to mission stations in Concepción, Curicó, Santiago, Taltal, and Valparaíso.
