The series consists of selections from the correspondence series in the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel archives. The SPG arranged its correspondence into several "series" with letter designations (each of which is a sub-series of this record) but the principles on which the original arrangement was made are not always clear. While the SPG assigned the letter designations, the National Archives supplied the corresponding titles at the time of the original description and, as a result, the titles do not appear on the transcripts and microfilms. Selections were copied from the following seven "series" or sub-series: Series A, Contemporary copies of early letters received, 1702-1737; Series B, Eighteenth century correspondence with North America; Series C, Unbound manuscripts; Series D, Letters received from Dioceses in Canada; Series E, Reports from Missionaries; Series G, Copies of letters read before the Society; and Series X, Miscellaneous papers.
