description This class contains photographic material connected with the Amoy mission field. It is divided into 4 sub-sections. The first section contains material concerning the field as a whole. There are then sub-sections concerning the 4 Amoy mission stations - Amoy itself, Chuan-chow, Chang-pu, and Yung-chun (the latter smaller stations have been combined into one sub-section). The photographs include material previously found in PCE boxes 22, 93, 109, 112-14, and 117 (Series I and Series I additional). Within sub-sections material has either been sorted into manageable units or kept in existing units if these are appropriate. The files have been arranged chronologically as far as is possible, although individual files can cover large date ranges. The items show individuals, groups, buildings, and local scenes, featuring missionaries (including those of the London Missionary Society and Reformed Church of America [sometimes referred to as the American Mission, American Reformed Mission, or Dutch Reformed Mission] who also worked in this region, sometimes in collaboration with the PCE), Chinese Christians, hospitals, schools, etc. Where possible, each place name is identified by a contemporary standard form (generally taken from Edward Band's Working His Purpose Out) and a current modern standard form (generally taken from the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names). The modern standard for Amoy is Xiamen. Chang-chow (modern standard Zhangzhou) has been used instead of Chang-chew, Changchow, Changchew, Chang-chew-foo, Changchowfu, Chiang Chiu, etc. Chang-pu (modern standard Zhangpu) has been used instead of Changpu, Chang-poo, or Changpoo. Chuan-chow (modern standard Quanzhou) has been used instead of Chin-chew, Chuanchow, Chinchew, Chin-chew-foo, Tsingkiang, etc. Fu-chow (modern standard Fuzhou) has been used instead of Foo-chow, Fuchow, or Foochow. Ku-liang has been used instead of Kuliang; Ku-lang-su instead of Ku-long-su, Kulangsu, or Kulongsu; Siong-si instead of Siong-see. Yung-chun (modern standard Yongchun) has been used instead of Yungchun, Eng-chhun, or Engchhun.
