About this Site
This exhibit was created by Elizabeth Peters, Project Archivist for the World Student Christian Federation records at the Yale Divinity Library.
The information in this exhibit is drawn primarily from the archival collections and finding aids for the WSCF records at Yale Divinity Library, especially RG 46 and RG 46F. Additional historical and contemporary information comes from the WSCF website (http://www.wscf.ch), as well as Memoirs and diaries: the World Student Christian Federation, 1895-1990, edited by Elisabeth Adler, and Women leaders in the Student Christian Movement, 1880-1920, by Thomas A. Russell. Special thanks to Necta Montes, General Secretary of the WSCF, for answering myriad questions, and Noriko Ishii, for identifying photographs of Japanese WSCF members.
