Mission Boards
Mission boards and para-church organizations are tracked as institutional actors with English and Chinese names. Several Chinese labels are provisional until they are checked against authority files and archival finding aids.
ABCFM / 美部会
Congregational records and Boston-area repositories, including Colby alumni comparison materials.
Northern Baptist / 美北浸礼会
American Baptist Missionary Union and American Baptist China Mission records, including Colby alumni links.
Southern Baptist / 美南浸信会
Nashville source sets, interior and central China records, schools, hospitals, and yearbook materials.
Methodist Episcopal / 美以美会
Northern Methodist category for future school, hospital, and student-life records.
Methodist Episcopal South / 监理会
Southern Methodist category for future institutional and regional comparisons.
Presbyterian North/South / 美北长老会 · 美南长老会
Presbyterian mission boards separated so future records do not collapse distinct denominational networks.
Lutheran / 信义会
New category added from faculty feedback for Lutheran mission materials.
YMCA / YWCA
中华基督教青年会 and 中华基督教女青年会 records can support student life, sports, and campus culture projects.
