We are fortunate to have acquired The Chinese Recorder in the materials donated to us by the Chicago Theological Seminary. Our new holdings include: 1869-1876, 1898, 1907-1908, 1913-1917, 1923-1930, 1932-1940.
The Chinese Recorder (and Missionary Journal) was produced by the Protestant missionary community in China. This journal was published for seventy-two years, longer than any other English language publication in that country. The Chinese Recorder is regarded today as one of the most valuable sources for studying the missionary movement in China and its influence on Western relations with and perceptions of the Far East. It was published monthly by the Methodist Press, Foochow, 1867-1872, and Presbyterian Press, Shanghai, 1874-1941.
Author, Pearl S. Buck's first published story appeared in the August 1924 issue of the Chinese Recorder. Pearl, her father, Absalom Sydenstricker, and her husband, John Lossing Buck, all had articles published in this journal.
