Presbyterian mission work in Korea began in 1884 and was primarily medical
and educational. Early mission work centered in Seoul and Pyengyang and
eventually nine stations were established. Work was done in cooperation with
several other denominations, including Methodists and Southern, Canadian, and
Australian Presbyterians. This collection includes reports and field
correspondence to the Church's mission board that reflect the mission's
educational, medical, and evangelistic work. Also included are materials
dealing with the Shrine Question, the Korean Conspiracy, and the Korean
Independence Movement. View the
