Orientation

Harvard libraries and archives contain a very large collection of material related to the history of Western medicine in China. The largest single group of documents are those identified with the ABCFM, or the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, primarily held now at the Houghton Library. This collection has over 1261 linear feet covering all of the activities of the ABCFM around the world, the China related files are significant within this, but still only a fraction. Many ABCFM items were originally held at the Andover-Harvard Theological Library, and some remain there, like the still substantial ABCFM Pamphlet Collection. Some of the ABCFM books were taken by the Widener Library under a special call number of MISS and remain there, but some of these items continue to migrate to Houghton, and there has been a significant transfer since 2000. Individual hospitals and medical schools may be searched by keyword within this subject guide.

Harvard-Yenching Library (the Asian language library) has significant holdings on Western Medicine in China, most specifically the archives of Lingnan University Medical School. A second rare collection is the digitized full-text Chinese language journals found in the 大成老旧刊全文数据库 which is available only on the computers in the Harvard-Yenching library itself. This has the full text of 125 Chinese language medical journals published between 1900 and 1949 (including Chinese medicine) and includes the most influential medical journals published in English. As of 2011, very few libraries in China or out have purchased a subscription to this catalogue.

HMS c40 nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HMS.Count:med00088 Walter Bradford Cannon was a major figure in the development of American physiology and medicine during the first four decades of the twentieth century. The papers in the Archive relate not only to Cannon the scientist, but also to Cannon the humanist who believed in the universality of knowledge and the international brotherhood of man.

Cannon was a member of the China Medical Board and the collection contains correspondence regarding mostly the China Medical Board and Peking Union Medical College (1922-1945).

Roger S. Greene was an American diplomat, foundation official, and medical administrator in China. The collection consists primarily Greene's correspondence from 1906 to 1946, relating particularly to his work for the Department of State, the China Medical Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, the American Committee for Non- Participation in Japanese Aggression and the Committee to Defend American by Aiding the Allies.

Organizations

American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions archives, ABC 1-91 (1810-1961) (1261 linear ft.) nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:FHCL.Hough:hou01467

Records of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, including personal papers and photographs of individuals and organizations associated with it. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was founded in 1810, the first organized missionary society in the United States. By the time of its centenary in 1910, the Board was responsible for 102 mission stations and a missionary staff of 600 in India, Ceylon, West Central Africa (Angola), South Africa and Rhodesia, Asiatic and European Turkey, four different regions in China, Japan, Micronesia, the Philippines, and the "Papal lands" of Mexico, Spain and Austria. Missions to American Indians had come and gone; likewise a mission to Hawaii, where the church had achieved independence from the Board.

The bulk of this massive collection consists of letters written by secretaries of the Board to its missionaries and others, and letters received by the Board, largely from missionaries in the field. Also included are records of organizations associated with the Board and miscellaneous manuscripts, largely personal papers and photographs of individuals connected with the Board.
