Interactive Map of West China Missionaries' Birth Places, USA
-
Description
-
The map presented here is based on birth place data for missionaries who served in West China, 1885-1952, researched and compiled by members of the Imaginaries and Modernities research team. It does not encompass all such missionaries, but enough of them to present clear trends in their places of origin. Here we present a still image of the USA map, which shows a wider geographic distribution than does the data from Canada, while still following the pattern of concentration in the northeast and midwest.
Follow the "Source" link to an interactive version of the map where you can drill down to individuals' birth places. Click on a "pin" to see the name of the missionary and their hometown.
