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.
