Description: The United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (USPG) is a 300-year-old Anglican missionary organisation, originally known as as the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG). It was founded in London, England, in 1701. The organization's original goal was to provide clergy to minister the settlers in the British colonies and to convert others to the Anglican faith. The group's work in Canada began in 1703 through a missionary to Newfoundland named Reverend John Jackson. By 1728, the organization was operating in Nova Scotia, and it would come to Quebec by 1759, New Brunswick by 1769, and Ontario by 1784. In 1851, the organization sent the Reverend W. Henry Taylor to be in charge of the Assiniboia district. The organization continued to send money to various areas of Canada until 1940, when the Anglican Church in Canada decided to support itself more. The organization became USPG in 1965 when the SPG merged with the Universities' Mission to Central Africa (UMCA), the latter of which had been established in 1837. Only the SPG was active in Canada. Today, the USPG's work involves pastoral care, social action and supporting training programs. It particularly supports hospitals and care centres for those suffering with HIV and AIDS.
These fonds consists of selections relating to Canada, journals, and correspondence from the records of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. They document the efforts of the Society to nurture and spread the faith of the Church of England through the support of missionaries in local communities across Canada.
There is a more detailed description of the USPG, as well as a shelf list, at the start of the microfilm reels.
La United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (USPG), ou Société pour la propagation de l'Évangile, est une organisation missionnaire anglicane datant d'il y a 300 ans. Elle porta d'abord le nom de Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG). Fondée à Londres, Angleterre, en 1701, son objectif initial était de constituer un clergé pour assurer le ministère auprès des colons dans les colonies britanniques et la conversion des autres à la foi anglicane. Le travail de l'organisation au Canada débuta en 1703 avec le révérend John Jackson, un missionnaire envoyé à Terre-Neuve. Dès 1728, l'organisation était présente en Nouvelle-Écosse et allait s'établir au Québec en 1759, au Nouveau-Brunswick en 1769 et en Ontario en 1784. En 1851, l'organisation envoya le révérend W. Henry Taylor pour prendre en charge le district d'Assiniboia. L'organisation continua d'envoyer de l'argent dans diverses régions du Canada jusqu'à ce que, en 1940, l'Église anglicane du Canada décida de subvenir davantage à ses propres besoins. L'organisation est devenue la USPG en 1965 lors de la fusion de la SPG avec la Universities' Mission to Central Africa (UMCA) fondée en 1837. Seule la SPG demeura active au Canada. Aujourd'hui, le travail de l'USPG consiste à offrir des services de pastorale, d'action sociale et de soutien aux programmes de formation. Elle soutient particulièrement les hôpitaux et les centres de soins pour les personnes souffrant du VIH ou du sida.
Ce fonds est composé d'une sélection de documents se rapportant au Canada, de journaux et de correspondance provenant des dossiers de la Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Cette documentation relate les efforts de la Société pour promouvoir et répandre la foi de l'Église d'Angleterre en soutenant ses missionnaires dans des communautés locales situées à travers le Canada.
Il y a une description plus complète de l'USPG, ainsi qu'un catalogue topographique, au début des bobines de microfilm.
The present version of Finding Aid No. 285 lists the transcripts, photostats and microfilm selections of the records of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel held by the National Archives of Canada. It follows the original SPG reference and volume numbers which are listed in the column on the left hand side of the table. The middle columns provide the contents and inclusive dates of the documents. The columns on the right hand side list the corresponding microfilm reel numbers where the documents and, occasionally, calendars can be found. Where possible, page numbers are provided from the SPG originals or the NA transcripts to further assist in finding material. The new finding aid includes the microfilms acquired since 1956 which were not in the original finding aid: reels A-1904 to A-1917 purchased in 1989 and reels H-1994 to H-2007 made in 1991 from the transcripts. It has not been checked against the microfilms themselves. MSS0285 http://data2.archives.ca/pdf/pdf001/p000000752.pdf

From (M: 118076): The series consists of selections from the correspondence series in the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel archives. The SPG arranged its correspondence into several "series" with letter designations (each of which is a sub-series of this record) but the principles on which the original arrangement was made are not always clear. While the SPG assigned the letter designations, the National Archives supplied the corresponding titles at the time of the original description and, as a result, the titles do not appear on the transcripts and microfilms. Selections were copied from the following three "series" or sub-series: Series B, Eighteenth century correspondence with North America; Series C, Unbound manuscripts; Series D, letters received from dioceses in Canada arranged by diocese. The early volumes contain the papers of several years bound together, but from 1877 they are bound annually. (We do not have the later series!!
