China Mission
Scope and Contents
The Papers of Alfred A. Gilman (1878-1964) and Gertrude C. Gilman (1864-1936) consist primarily of personal letters written from China and sent home to parents, relatives, and siblings, and later to their children and grandchildren. Other papers in the collection relate to Alfred’s mission work, mission financial records, letters from friends and family, and personal documents.
The collection also contains a number of photographs of the Gilmans, their children and other family members, and people and places in China related to their mission work. Also, there is a set of three cassette tapes containing an interview with Louise Gilman Hutchins on Gilman family history, recorded in the early 1990s.
