United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel

The society holds the records of the former Universities Mission to Central Africa. Those relating to the diocese of Zanzibar date back to the 1860s. Missionary correspondence from the episcopates of Hine and Weston is relevant to this study, as also is a small collection of letters and unpublished memoirs written by the first generation of African priests and teachers. The papers are to be reorganised and catalogued. At present they are kept in packets listed by diocese and episcopate.
