Collection: Colonial Women Missionaries of the Committee for Women's Work, 1861–1967 Volumes Ladies' Association for the Promotion of Female Education...1861 - 1895
The emphasis in both the minute books and the letter books, is very much upon the progress of establishing Christian schools in Africa, India, Burma, China, and Japan. Details include how many students have been recruited, how the teachers' health is coping with the foreign climate, teacher shortages, supply shortages and requests for money. The numerous requests for money contrast rather starkly with the Association's financial situation; increasing costs abroad are not neccessarily matched by any increase in funding, so cuts in the home budget are often considered and implemented. These missionaries were not immune from global events, so their correspondence does make occasional references to events such as the Sino-Japanese War between 1895-1895.
