Introduction

Yale University has a long history of interaction with China. Yale graduate Peter Parker was first full-time Protestant medical missionary to China, arriving in Canton in 1834. The Yale-China Association was founded in 1901 as the Yale Foreign Missionary Society by a group of Yale graduates and faculty members. The founders chose China as the focus of their work, in part to honor the memory of a Yale graduate from the class of 1892, Horace Tracy Pitkin, who had worked in China as a missionary and was killed in 1900 during the Boxer Uprising. In the early 1970s, the Yale Divinity School Library, which was already world-renowned for its documentation of the missionary movement, was chosen as the central repository for the China Records Project, a project that sought to collect papers of missionaries to China from varied denominational backgrounds. Manuscript holdings of the Yale libraries are complemented by extensive published holdings.
Yale archival collections on China are dispersed among three repositories: the Divinity School Library, Manuscripts and Archives at Sterling Memorial Library, and the Medical Historical Library. The Divinity School Library's archival holdings on China primarily date from the 1830s to the 1950s and document Protestant missionary work in China. In addition to personal papers, the Divinity Library also holds archives of schools and organizations active in China, including hospitals and medical schools. The holdings of Manuscripts and Archives described in this guide primarily relate to the work of the Yale-China Association and individuals who were engaged in medical work in China under the Association. A guide to China-related collections at Manuscripts and Archives is available at http://guides.library.yale.edu/chinasubjectguide. The Medical Historical Library holdings on China include the papers of Peter Parker and the paintings of patients at Canton Hospital which Parker commissioned Chinese artist Lam Qua to paint.
This guides describes holdings in four categories: Archives of organizations and institutions, Personal papers, Reports and periodicals, and Published material.

    • History: In 1939, the Church of Christ in China requested permission from the government to do educational and medical work among certain ethnic groups on China's western border. There was a growing tendency to view ethnic groups as a threat to national unity in China during the 1930s, so the government eagerly accepted the Church's proposal. An agreement was made that the government would provide certain equipment and the Church would provide the staff. The Border Service Department was the first missionary outreach effort of the Chinese Church. The peoples among whom the Border Service Department worked were known as the Kiang or Ch'iang, Chiarong or Gia-rung, Lolos or Nosus, and Miaos. Fields of work were western Szechuan (Lifan), Sikong and Yunnan.
    • Records: The Reports and Official Documents of the Border Service in Box 1 include sections on the medical work being carried out by the organization in addition to specific reports regarding medicine, including "An Experiment in Close Cooperation between the Government Public Health Administration and the Border Service Hospital in Sichang" (1945), "The Medical Staff of the Border Mission, Staff of the Sikong Hospital of the B.S.D."

    • The Yale-China Association Records are the primary source for documenting the history of the Yale-China Association's activities in mainland China (1901-1951), Hong Kong (1951 to the present), and the United States (1901 to the present). The bulk of the records created by the various components of Yale-China during the mainland period of its history (Yali Union Middle School, The Yale-in-China College of Arts and Sciences, and the Hsiang-Ya hospital, medical school, and nursing school) were apparently destroyed during the Second World War. The loss of this material is to some extent compensated by the extensive policy and planning records present in Series I and II, and especially by the staff correspondence from the field which richly documents the day-to-day activities at the Association's facilities in Changsha.
    • History: In 1905, immediately after his arrival in Changsha, Dr. Edward Hume began a dispensary, and in 1908 a hospital was opened under his direction. When Dr. F.C. Yen joined the hospital's staff in 1910, Yale-in-China became the first institution in China to employ western-educated Chinese as full members of the permanent faculty on equal terms with Americans. In 1914, agreement was reached with the Hunan government to co-operate in sponsoring medical education in the form of a new hospital and medical school. The Yale-in-China College of Nursing, begun by Nina Gage in 1910, was also placed under the direction of the cooperative Hunan-Yale (Hsiang-Ya) Board. In 1916, the first students entered the new medical school. During World War II, Hsiang-Ya Hospital continued to service the local community as well as military personnel. In 1939, as the Japanese Army approached Changsha, three branch hospitals were established. The main hospital was able to continue in Changsha until 1944.Because of the military threat, the Medical College was moved to Kweiyang in 1938. Two years later, it was designated a national medical college by the Chinese Ministry of Education and began to receive funds from the Nationalist Government. The 1945 bombing of Kweiyang forced the school's evacuation to Chungking.
    • Records: The Yale-China Association records of the Hsiang-Ya Hospital and the Hunan Yale Medical College and hospital in Changsa, Hunan document the history and activities of the organization's medical work in China. The substantial records contain extensive correspondence documenting all aspects of the funding, construction, and staffing of the hospital, as well as, hospital reports, medical and surgical equipment purchased, constitution, meeting minutes, alumni correspondence, case histories, and patient charts (1914). The hospital and medical school had different names over the years, including Hsiang Ya Hospital, Hunan-Yale Hospital of Changsa, Yale Mission Hospital of Changsa Ha, Hunan-Yale Medical College, Hsiang Ya Medical Center, and National Hsiang Ya Medical College. In addition, the collection includes correspondence from many individuals who served on the medical and nursing staffs of the hospital and medical college. A listing of the staff correspondence can be found in Series III of the finding aid. A list of photographs of medical, hospital, and nursing staffs, and of the medical school campus and hospital can be found in Series IX of the finding aid.

    • The Foster Family Papers date from the mid-nineteenth century, encompassing over one hundred years and three generations of Fosters. Of interest in the collection is John Hess Foster who was on the medical staff of Yale-in-China. John Hess Foster, born in 1891 to missionary parents in China, graduated from Medical School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1917 and returned to China in 1919 to spend almost nine years on the Medical Staff of the Hunan-Yale Hospital in Changsha. In January, 1927, when a student strike finally closed the academic branches of Yale-in-China, John Hess, his wife, Helen, and children John and Ann, left Changsha along with a number of other Yale-in-China personnel. The collection includes correspondence, photographs, biographical material and writings by John Hess Foster regarding his work as a physician in China.

Hume, a physician and educator, whose major work was divided between China, where he founded the Hunan-Yale Medical College (1914) and New York, where he was trustee and director of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital (1928-1933). His life-long interest in Chinese medical problems is shown in his correspondence with members of the Yale-in-China Association staff. His subject files document the history of the various institutions of the Yale Mission in China, as well as political events during his stay. The papers also include copies of Hume's published and unpublished writings, newspaper clippings, memorabilia, medical reports regarding Hunan-Yale College of Medicine and Changsa Yale Hospital, and photographs. The collection also contains material related to Edward Hume's wife, Lotta C. Hume. Her training as a nurse was put to use in India and China where she lived with her husband (1903-1927). Apart from a letter on the Changsha riots in 1910, her correspondence is largely devoted to family matters.
      There is an extensive amount of correspondence, reports, and memoranda documenting Edward Hume's work in China included in the Yale-China Association records.

    • Peter Parker, medical missionary and diplomat to China, was born in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1804. His parents were farmers and devout followers of the orthodox Congregational faith. Parker attended Yale College, graduating in 1831, and remained in New Haven to study theology and medicine, earning his M.D. from the Medical Institution of Yale College in 1834. In January of the same year he was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry in Philadelphia, one month before departing for Canton as the first Protestant medical missionary to China. One year after his arrival, with assistance from American and British benefactors, he opened the Ophthalmic Hospital at Canton. Parker specialized in treating diseases of the eye, particularly cataracts, but also performed general surgical operations including the removal of tumors. He is probably best known for the introduction of anesthesia to China in the form of sulphuric ether.
    • The collection includes miscellanea, memorabilia, a box of preserved calculi removed from patients in the hospital, and 87 oil portraits by Western-trained Chinese artist Lam Qua of Peter Parker's patients with huge tumors.

    • In 1940, after completing his residency, Pettus received a Yale-in-China Association appointment as Professor of Surgery at Hsiang-Ya Hospital in Changsha, Hunan. He worked at Changsha until January 1942, when the Japanese Army captured the city. After a brief occupation the Japanese retreated, and Pettus was among the first to return to Changsha. It was largely due to his efforts that medical work was begun again in the seriously damaged hospital. During the spring of 1943, Pettus returned to the United States for advanced study in surgery. In October 1944 he resumed his work at Hsiang-Ya, then located at Kweiyang, Kweichow, and later at Chungking. In September 1945 Pettus flew into Changsha before the Japanese relinquished control of the city and began working to re-open the Yale-in-China medical facilities. He was killed when the airplane he was piloting crashed at Hwangping, Kweichow, on November 18, 1945.His letters to his parents, beginning in 1928, report on his undergraduate life at Yale and later on medical school. After 1940, when he returned to China, his letters discuss his day-to-day activities as a doctor in wartime at the hospital in Changsha. The writings include diaries and drafts of unpublished articles.
