Church Missionary Society : The Church Missionary Society (CMS), originally known as the Society for Missions in Africa and the East by Evangelical clergy of the Church of England, was founded, 12 April 1799, by 25 members of the so-called Clapham Sect under the chairmanship of the Reverend John Venn (1759-1813), Rector of Clapham in south London. Its work was extended to what is now Canada in 1822, when it responded to the request of the Reverend John West (1778-1845), a member of the Society who had been appointed chaplain to the Hudson's Bay Company in 1819 and arrived in Manitoba in 1820.

Since its main interest was in the conversion of the heathen rather than in the sort of ministry to British settlers abroad on which societies such as the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Colonial and Continental Church Society (see MG 17, B 1 and MG 17, B 4) concentrated, the Church Missionary Society worked chiefly among the Indians and Inuit of the Hudson's Bay Company Territory. The main stations of its North-West America (Rupert's Land) Mission were established at the Red River Settlement (Winnipeg), 1822; The Pas, 1840; Lac La Ronge (Stanley Mission), 1852; York Factory, 1854; and Fort Simpson, 1858.

In 1856, Captain James Charles Prevost, R.N., urged the extension of the Society's work to the Pacific. The first C.M.S missionary to the Tsimshian Indians, William Duncan (1832-1918) (see MG 29, D 55 and MG 40, F 11), reached that coast in 1857. The main stations in the Society's North Pacific (British Columbia) Mission were established at Metlakatla, 1862; Kincolith, 1866; Masset, 1876; Alert Bay, 1878; Hazelton, 1880; Giat Wangak, 1882; Aiyansh, 1883; Kitkatla, 1887; and Tahl Tan, 1898. The decision to turn the Society's Canadian missions over to the local Church was taken, and the gradual reduction of its annual grants begun, in 1903. Its work among the Inuit in the Arctic was turned over to the Canadian Church in 1907, and its final hand-over to the Missionary Society of the Canadian Church was completed in 1920.

Textual records (Électronique) The finding aid to the Church Missionary Society fonds has four parts. The first part is an Introduction to the finding aid (60 pages) which includes an archival description, and notes concerning the organization of the finding aid and the custodial history of the records in the United Kingdom and microfilming by Library and Archives Canada. The second part is a detailed list of the records by series on microfilm reels A-75 to A-126 (530 pages). The third part holds appendices, including a microfilm shelf list and alphabetical indexes of correspondents and geographical place names (193 pages). More information about the finding aid can be found in the Introduction to Part 1. MSS0023 (90: Ouvert)

Textual records (Électronique) The fourth part of Finding Aid MSS0023 is a list of the 110 microfiche of later records of the Church Missionary Society relating to Canada, 1901-1930, that were purchased by LAC in 1988 (11 pages) and described in 2001. MSS0023 (90: Ouvert)

Textual records (Microforme) The earliest version of Finding Aid MSS0023 was prepared ca. 1955-1960 by the Manuscript Division and microfilmed in 1961 on reel C-4501. It contained only the original introduction to the finding aid, a brief general inventory of the collection, and detailed lists of the six series. This finding aid was revised and expanded in 1985 and microfilmed in the same year on reel H-1686. It provided detailed lists of all 33 volumes on the LAC microfilm and new contextual information, including prefatory notes and indexes. In essence, the revised 1985 finding aid is now parts 1 to 3 of Finding Aid MSS0023. MSS0023 (90: Ouvert)

Historique de la conservation :

Those parts of the Church Missionary Society's records that could be identified as relating to Canada and readily isolated for filming were microfilmed in 1954 from the incompletely arranged originals that were then in Church Mission House, London. The original records, which were subsequently arranged in a manner that makes correlation with the NA's microfilm copies problematic, were transferred in 1985 to the Special Collections department of the Library of the University of Birmingham, England. Subsequently, in 1988, microfiche copies of some of the later volumes in Class "G" were obtained from the Library of Birmingham University. Researchers must contact Reference Services, Library and Archives Canada in order to access the set of microfiche.

The fonds is divided chronologically into class "C" for papers up to 1880 and class "G" for those created after 1880. When the Church Missionary Society started creating foreign missions in the early 1800s, their manuscripts were separated from the home missions with the result that each mission had its own series of volumes and papers. Series C.1 relates to papers of the North-West America Mission (also known as the North-West Canada Mission or Rupertsland Mission) while C.2 relates to the North Pacific Mission (also known as the British Columbia Mission). From 1820 to 1880, copies of outgoing letters were pasted into letter books (designated /L). From 1852, separate letter books were kept for some copies of individual personal letters (/I) to missionaries in the field. Incoming letters were copied into mission books (/M) while the letters themselves were kept in bundles (/O). After 1880, the mission books were replaced by summaries of incoming letters which were written in précis books (/P). See the finding aid for more details.
