Scope and content
Series contains images generated in the course of home mission activities under the direction of: the Board of Home Missions; the Board of Evangelism and Social Service; and the Division of Mission in Canada.
Series consists of photoprints, postcards, slides, lantern slides, and photomechanical prints created or collected by ordained missionaries, lay mission workers, student supplies, and others serving, or involved in directing or promoting United Church missions to aboriginal peoples and ethno-cultural communities in Canada. Significant images include: items collected by Rev. F.C. Stephenson, Secretary of the Young People's Missionary Education Committee, 1925-1936; material emanating from the Committee on Missionary Education during the Secretaryship of Kenneth J. Beaton, 1936-1955; and photos and other material produced by Berkeley Studio, and the United Church Publishing House.
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, and eventually include. Images offer visual evidence for the evangelistic, educational, medical, and social work of the Church as it became an advocate for an inclusive and egalitarian society. Images also document the activities, way of life, and cultural experience of the first peoples, and of the immigrants who came to Canada between the wars and in the post-war era. Aboriginal peoples, ethnic groups, immigrants, missionaries, and institutions are the main subject areas
covered. Both institutions began by the Methodists and Presbyterians and continued under the United Church, and institutions established by the United Church after the Union in 1925 are represented including: residential schools such as Edmonton Indian Residential School, Edmonton, Alta.; hospitals such as Skidegate Inlet Hospital, Queen Charlotte, B.C.; school homes, for example, Nisbet School Home, Prince Albert, Sask.; hostels such as the Indian Metis Lodge, Winnipeg, Man.; church camps such as those held at Jackson House, Western Bay, Nfld.; marine missions featuring mission boats such as Thomas Crosby V; settlement houses such as Regina Settlement House, Regina, Sask.; drop-in centres, for example, Friendship House, Prince Rupert, B.C.; missions to immigrants and new Canadians, for example, Church of All Nations, Toronto, Ont., or T.E. Bissell Memorial Institute, Edmonton, Alta.; and city missions such as the Fred Victor Mission, Toronto, Ont.
