America in Records from Colonial Missionaries, 1635–1928 - Key Data

America in Records from Colonial Missionaries, 1635–1928, was curated in association with the Bodleian Library.

This collection contains records compiled by the United Society Partners in Gospel (USPG), a UK-based Anglican missionary organisation that operates globally. From the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, the USPG went by the name of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG).

This collection contains letters and supplementary materials compiled by its North American branch during the period 1635–1928. The papers provide students, researchers, and educators with a unique insight into the evolution of Christianity in the American colonies, the United States, and Canada.

This collection is accompanied by a contextual essay written by Isobel Pridmore, formerly the archivist at the USPG. This institution’s archives are now held at Rhodes House Library in Oxford.
