Selected reports and other records of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, affiliates and successors in Turkey and the Balkans, 1825-1988
The items in this series consist of official correspondence, documents, reports, and minutes of the American Board’s enterprises in Turkey and the Balkans, primarily communications of officers and personnel, as well as reports by staff, committees, and mission stations and institutions. (The series excludes the correspondence of the Board’s financial offices, which comprises the larger part of the entire collection.) Much of the correspondence was issued from the ABH headquarters in Istanbul, and correspondents include officers and staff of the ABCFM’s main office in Boston, Mass.; Christian organizations (such as Bible and religious tract societies) in the United States and Great Britain; United States diplomatic representatives; Turkish government officials; and local pastors. Many of the reports are specific to institutions of the Western Turkey Mission. Some documents also relate to mission ventures in Bulgaria, Greece, Syria and other locations in the Middle East.
