Notes
This unique online resource traces the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel's fortunes during both the First and Second World Wars, with a greater emphasis on the latter. This greater emphasis was driven largely by how missionaries in East and South East Asia reacted to the outbreak of war between the Allies and Japan. The SPG had a significant presence in these regions and the various accounts found here provide terrific insight. Records relating to the First World War are significantly less numerous, but nevertheless provide some detail not found elsewhere. Their focus is on the effect of the war upon the Society, with records of SPG staff fighting in the war and notes upon how the SPG's duties were continued in their absence.
