 China Records Project
The China Records Project was initiated by the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A in 1968.

A survey of topics pursued by researchers in recent years indicates that these records are of use both in providing information about events, movements, and institutions in China, and in providing insight into the Western societies that sent, supported, and were embodied in the missionaries.
