These papers were possibly collected by Margaret Burke, who worked for the Friends Service Council Madagascar Committee. The Friends Service Council (FSC) was established in 1927 by the amalgamation of the Friends Foreign Mission Association (FFMA) and the Friends Council for International Service (CIS). The FSC is the standing committee responsible for the overseas work of the Religious Society of Friends in Great Britain and Ireland. Its predecessor the FFMA was formally established in 1868 in succession to a provisional committee set up a few years before. It remained an independent organization until it became a committee of London Yearly Meeting in 1918. Its fields of action included Madagascar, from 1867. Madagascar was also among the mission fields of the London Missionary Society, whose first missionaries arrived in 1818. |
