Trial access to the Church Missionary Society Archive and the Church Missionary Society Periodicals
By Sarah Gilmore, on 2 March 2023
UCL has trial access to the Church Missionary Society Archive and the Church Missionary Society Periodicals from Adam Matthew until 2nd April 2023. Please note that PDF download options are not available but double clicking on thumbnails shows a larger high-res version.
Church Missionary Society Archive is a repository of source materials on the work of the Church Missionary Society, founded in 1799 as an Anglican evangelical movement and still active today. It includes records of both the CMS and the many other missionary societies which have become associated or amalgamated with it over its lifetime.
Highlights include:
- Central records of the CMS and papers of key individuals associated with it
- Records of the the Loochoo Naval Mission (1843-1864), the first recorded Anglican and Protestant mission in Japan
- Archive of the Society for Promoting Female Education in China, India and the East
- Records of the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society
Church Missionary Society Periodicals encompasses publications from the CMS, the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society and the latterly integrated South American Missionary Society. Documenting missionary work from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, the periodicals include news, journals and reports offering a unique perspective on global history and cultural encounters.
Please send feedback on this resource to your subject librarian.

Hello, many thanks for you comment. I have informed the History Subject Librarian about your interest in the full version of these archives.
With full access, this would be a fabulous resource.
It’s terribly frustarting that the trial version doesn’t permit download!
