Notes
Established in 1701 by royal chapter during the reign of King William III in order "That a maintenance for an orthodox clergy and other provision may be made for the propagation of the Gospel in the plantations beyond the sea," it was not until 1863 that China became the first country outside the British Empire to which the SPG sent missionaries, followed in 1873 by Japan and later by Korea. Though earlier references can be found in the minutes of Society's meetings in the Journal, also published separately on microfilm and online, this collection comprises the volumes of copies of letters received (CLR) and copies of letters sent (CLS) for the period from 1872 to 1931, relating to activities in each of these three countries. Curiously, whilst the earliest correspondence for Japan and Korea coincides closely with the start of those missions, the copies of letters sent to, and received from, China omit most of the first ten years. A small number of documents relating to China from as early as 1839 do survive in a box for the Hong Kong diocese from the separately published C series materials for the Anglican province of Asia (C/ASI/HK/1).
