Andover Newton Theological School
The Andover Newton Theological School Collection contains materials collected by the institution and its predecessors, in addition to some institutional records. The majority of the materials collected are linguistic, representing written samples of multiple languages. Other material collected appears to be from various missionary work, including articles, pamphlets, sermons, photographs, and maps. A number of items were originally part of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions' library, Newton Theological Institution's library, and Andover Newton Theological's library. Most of the material has a typed note as to what it is and when it was received by the donor. All non-English item descriptions used in this collection are from these notes; there may be inaccuracies. While a number of non-English items are listed as undated, they may contain dates in another language that were not identified by the original translator.
