This collection consists of personal papers of the Rev. John Roy Strock and his wife Elizabeth Evans Strock. The records are from 1910-1978, with the bulk of material from 1910-1953, and were generated through the course of Pastor and Mrs. Strock's service with the General Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the United States (GS) and the United Lutheran Church in America (ULCA) as missionaries in India, and a portion of time after Pastor Strock's retirement. The papers consist of personal correspondence, personal diaries, travel diaries, essays regarding life in India, articles written about Pastor Strock, and material related to his death in 1978. The letters are very fragile and some are incomplete.
