Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Series II. Missionary Work contains materials about various religious missionaries, missions, or materials about the countries or peoples in which the missionaries had an interest. Included in this series are memoirs, articles, a copy of the constitution of the Original Hawaiian Church, pamphlets, a manuscript, a script of a play, sermons, images, maps, architectural drawings, and an Indian train schedule. The sermons include notes of sermons preached by Jonathan Edwards before the Mohawk people in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, in January and February 1751 (box 4, folder 8), and one preached by Samuel Austin Worcester in 1832, in a Georgia penitentiary where he was confined for teaching Cherokees (box 4, folder 9). Caution must be used when opening the periodical An Indian Dream, as some of the pages are torn (box 4, folder 1), and when viewing the glass plate negative, as a corner has broken off (box 4, folder 10). Also included in this series are receipts for mission donations, and four boxes of daguerreotypes. The daguerreotypes are restricted due to their fragility; however, images of each item are available in the reading room, and details of each item can be found in Appendix II.
