scopecontent: Scope and Contents of the Collection Sarah Tinsley Rees and her "Tuesday Bible Class," Kanazawa, Japan, 1914 The Sarah Tinsley Rees Papers consist of two linear feet of correspondence (which forms the bulk of the papers), printed material, memorabilia, and photographs. The inclusive dates are 1875 to 1929, but the major portion of the material dates from 1911 to 1919. The CORRESPONDENCE series consists of three sections: Sarah T. Rees, Family, and Miscellaneous. The first section contains outgoing letters to her family from Japan and Vladivostok (1911-1919) and incoming letters from family, friends, and others (1894- 1922). The Japan and Russia letters form the bulk of this section. There are approximately 450 letters that describe Rees's experiences in Japan. They relate mostly to her daily activities, replies to news from home, and housing arrangements, rather than her actual work experiences as a missionary. There are also letters regarding her work both in Siberia and on the Red Cross transport ship en route to England. The incoming letters are from her parents, Fanny H. and Henry Reese, and her siblings, Mary Addison, Harry, and Frances (1894-1918). There are also two folders of letters to Rees from friends (1904-1920), which include postcards from Japanese colleagues and students, and one folder of business letters from the missionary society of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Bishop of Kyoto, and the Red Cross Commission to Siberia. Finally there is one folder of miscellaneous letters to and from family members in the U.S., especially between Mary, Harry, and Frances and their mother. These include some to the family from others. The BIOGRAPHY AND MEMORABILIA series consists of a small amount of biographical clippings and memorabilia from Hartford High School, Smith College, Columbia University, Japan, and the Red Cross. The PHOTOGRAPHS consist of a dismantled album of snapshots and postcards from Japan; twenty-six snapshots from Vladivostok of hospital …
