Percentage of North American Missionary Birth Places by Region (n382)

Title: Percentage of North American Missionary Birth Places by Region (n382)
Identifier: DS_0011
Description: Bar chart of North American missionary birth places based on a dataset of West China missionaries’ biographic information created for the Imaginaries and Modernities among West China Missionaries digital repository and collaborative research environment.
Commentary: The birth location data in this chart has been researched and gathered from published biographies, interviews with family members, and archival documents. It represents the actual birthplaces for the subset of 382 missionaries born in North America for whom we were able to collect this detailed information.

This bar chart complements the map based on the same data (see Related item). Both data visualizations show the predominance of the Midwest and Northeast in both Canada and the United States. This is likely due to the role certain institutions played in foreign missionary recruitment.
