Introduction

The Berkshire and Columbia Missionary donated their records to the Congregational Library in 2003 after they chose to close down their operation. The collection is one linear foot of material, including their constitution, correspondence, financial records that include many letters of thanks for the Society's support, histories of the Society and related histories, and finally minutes of annual meetings/secretary's records.

There is no separation into series, as the collection is so small. The archivist simply alphabetized the files.
