Papers of Amy N. Hinshaw ARC2024-009 - Finding Aid

This small but important collection of material connected to Amy Naomi Hinshaw documents an important part in recording the history of the mission work of the Church of the Nazarene, especially within the Woman’s Missionary Society between the dates of 1927 and 1939. This collection’s research strength is in first-hand accounts of Nazarene missions obtained and recorded by Hinshaw, as she began working on the history of Nazarene missions while it was still an active project and many of the early missionaries were still on the field. Her work often includes quotes from letters, and thus she becomes an important historiographer for the denomination. This collection includes biographical materials, printed missionary publications, and scrapbooks of Hinshaw’s published articles and essays. The size of the collection is two boxes comprising .84 linear feet of space. There are no restrictions on this collection.
