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.
