Show detail Hide detail

Lambeth Palace Library : Lambeth Palace Library is the library of the London residence of the Archbishops of Canterbury. Because of the missionary work of the Church of England, the library's large manuscript collection contains much material which relates to North American. Included in its holdings, for example, are the Fulham Papers, records of the Bishops of London, who were virtually the diocesan heads of the Church of England overseas during the colonial period (see MG 17, B 5), and many of the early records of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts (see MG 17, B 8). In addition to such large coherent series, the collection contains numerous miscellaneous manuscripts relevant to Canada, from which the selections in this unit derive.
