Colonial & Post-Colonial Catalog Occasional Papers from St. Augustine’s College 1853 - 1935 Saint Augustine‘s was originally founded as an abbey and endowed by King Ethelbert in A.D. 605. Suppressed in 1538, it was restored 310 years later as an Anglican Mission College, under Royal Charter, in 1848. The Missionary College of St. Augustine was established to relieve the shortage of ministers qualified to serve the British Empire. The Occasional Papers, the first of which was published on May 31, 1853, had their origin in the letters received from various quarters and read at Sunday evening gatherings at the College. These letters from former students give a wide range of contemporary views and opinions on Christian mission fields. Some detail pioneering labors and successes; others reflect first impressions of the societies, terrain, and peoples they met; most supply a broad range of local, social, geographical, anthropological, and missiological information. The letters originate from around the world, some written aboard ship, and others from locations identified only by their navigational coordinates. The major requirement for admission to the College was communion with the Church of England and ―satisfactory certificates of baptism, and of religious and moral character.‖ Because of this, the missionaries themselves came from diverse nationalities and backgrounds, including one Eskimo named Kallihirua. These letters reflect the attitudes of participants in an important period of expanding Church of England missionary activity. They record early contacts with indigenous peoples and reveal the painful efforts of colonial pioneers to adapt English social and religious practices to very un-English environments. Included are subjects of anthropological interest such as the ―Head Feast‖ of the Dayaks in Sarawak and the ―Feather Cloak‖ from Hawaii; local cures such as ―Native medicines in the Cape‖; news from the mission field in China and Zululand; material on the Boer war and the siege of Standerton, Transvaal; along with many other interesting items. These Occasional Papers provide an important source for missiologists and anthropologists, and more widely for their portrayal of British colonial and post-colonial history at a local level.

This collection has been carefully designed to meet the needs of historians and librarians in the areas of bibliographic control and access. Each of the five groups within the collection is accompanied by its own guide and each guide includes bibliographic citations, author title and subject indexes. Pamphlets in American History is organized within each group in subject-specific segments.

Research Collections Parker, James. The Family Papers of James Parker * 1760 - 1795 Including material on the American War of Independence. From Liverpool Central Library. Introduction by Professor W.E. Minchinton, University of Exeter; Part of the British Records Relating to America series Liverpool, England 4 reels 35mm Penn, William. The William Penn Papers 1644 - 1718 While best known as the founder of Pennsylvania, this remarkable man also made his mark as a Quaker leader and social philosopher during his lifetime. A friend of England‘s kings, yet a firm believer in religious and political freedom in America, his often paradoxical life can now be viewed through the papers in this important historical collection. Libraries and institutions supporting programs in Colonial American history, European history, religious studies, and Pennsylvania state and local history will be able to offer their students access to valuable resource materials for research. The approximately 3,000 documents are arranged chronologically, and include: Correspondence to and from Penn Theological papers Patents Commissions and constitutions Account books Land records Diaries Penn exchanged letters with many influential people, such as Queen Anne, Cotton Mather, and Peter the Great, and the correspondence in the collection includes these important letters. The collection is also of particular value for exploring Penn‘s often-complex finances. His business and financial papers offer new insights into the problems facing a British landowner who was at the same time a colonial proprietor. Students of political science and religion will discover a wealth of material pertaining to Penn‘s political and religious beliefs, and can relate these to the developing trends in Colonial America. Other topics that can now be examined include: English society‘s persecution of Penn and other Quaker leaders The founding of Pennsylvania in 1681 Penn‘s friendship with King James II His defense of colonial autonomy His arrest for making false claims of debt and his attempt to sell Pennsylvania The collection was filmed by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania from documents assembled from more than 60 institutions and individuals.
