United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Commission on Ecumenical Mission and Relations Secretaries' Files: Korea Mission
Description
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 collection guide to learn more.
