Part of From Mission to Partnership Photograph collection

Series contains images generated in the course of home mission activities under the direction of: the Board of Foreign Missions, and its predecessor body, the Foreign Mission Committee (w.s.); the Women's Missionary Society (e.d.); the Women's Missionary Society (w.d.) and its antecedent bodies, the Women's Foreign Missionary Society (w.d.) and Women's Home Missionary Society; the Board of Home Missions and Social Service, and its antecedent bodies, the Home Mission Committee (w.s.), Board of Home Missions, and Board of Social Service and Evangelism.

Series consists of photoprints, lantern slides, postcards, cartes de visite, and stereographs created or collected by ordained missionaries, lay mission workers, and others serving, or involved in directing or promoting Presbyterian missions to indigenous peoples and ethno-cultural communities in Canada. Significant images include: lantern slides by the Presbyterian Lantern Slide Department; and photos taken in connection with a series of social surveys of major Canadian cities conducted in 1913 by the Presbyterian Board of Social Service and Evangelism in cooperation with the Department of Temperance and Moral Reform of the Methodist Church.

Images in this series provide insight into the complex power relationships between those who served in the home mission fields and those whom the missions sought to reach. Images offer visual evidence of the evangelistic, educational, medical, and social work of the Church as an agent of colonialism, 'Christianization' and 'Canadianization'. Images also document the activities, way of life, and cultural experience of indigenous peoples as well as the immigrants who settled the land now known as Canada through the dominant white, Eurocentric, perspective of the Church and its missions. Indigenous peoples, ethnic groups, immigrants, missionaries, preaching places, and institutions are the main subjects covered.

Types of institutions represented include: boarding schools, such as Ahousaht Residential School, Ahousaht, B.C.; school homes, for example, Sifton School Home, Sifton, Man.; fresh air camps for children, such as those held at Gimli, Man.; hospitals, for example Anna Turnbull Hospital, Wakaw, Sask.; marine missions, featuring mission boats such as Sky Pilot; co-operative city missions, such as the United Mission, Sydney, N.S.; missions to immigrants and new Canadians, such as the Jewish Mission, Winnipeg, Man.; and social settlement houses, such as St. Columba House, Montreal, Que.

Series is arranged geographically according to information provided by each item. Consequently, the level of specificity varies: one item may give only enough information to link it with a country or region, while another may indicate that it is associated with a particular province or town.

Series contains images generated in the course of home mission activities under the direction of: the Missionary Society; and the Woman's Missionary Society.

Series consists of photoprints, postcards, lantern slides, cartes de visite, stereographs, photomechanical prints, and souvenir albums created or collected by ordained missionaries, student supplies, lay mission workers, and others serving, or involved in directing or promoting Methodist missions to aboriginal peoples and ethno-cultural communities in Canada. Over half the items in this series were collected by Rev. F.C. Stephenson, organizer of the Student Missionary Campaign, 1894-1906, and later, Secretary of the Young People's Forward Movement for Missions, 1906-1925. Many of his photographs were used to illustrate Y.P.F.M. educational and promotional literature, and publications such as the Missionary Bulletin, as well as mainstream Church periodicals such as the Christian Guardian. Other significant images include: photos collected by Rev. John Maclean, missionary to the aboriginal peoples of the prairies; and originals of prints which appeared in publications by J.S. Woodsworth.

Images in this series provide insight into the evolving relationship between those who served in the home mission fields, and those whom the missions sought to reach. Images offer visual evidence for the evangelistic, educational, medical, and social work of the Church as an agent of 'Christianization' and 'Canadianization'. Images also document the activities, way of life, and cultural experience of the first peoples to inhabit Canada, and of the immigrants who settled this land during the formative years of nation building. Aboriginal peoples, ethnic groups, immigrants, missionaries, mission churches, and institutions are the main subject areas covered.

Types of institutions represented include: industrial schools, such as Brandon Industrial Institute, Brandon Man. [Brandon Residential School]; boarding schools, for example, Elizabeth Long Memorial Home, Kitimaat, B.C.
