1934-1948
The Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention produced photographic picture albums to provide information on the mission work of the Board across the world. This digital presentation covers the albums from 1934 to 1948. The albums vary somewhat from year to year, but usually contain the same information. The albums include officers of the Board and a list of names of the Board members. Some of the Home staff leadership in Richmond are included in the album. The missionaries are listed by area or country in alphabetical order. Photographs of the missionaries include a brief sketch of the background, including birthdate, education, hometown, marriage information, where they served on the mission field, their responsibilities, and when they were appointed as a missionary. The 1948 album lists the missionaries in alphabetical order by name and not by country. The albums are any word searchable.
