Deaconess Evelyn M. Ashcroft was a missionary to China and the Philippines from 1937-1969. She taught at St. Mary's Hall in Shanghai, China from its opening in 1937 until she was transferred to the Philippines in 1951. From 1951-1952 she assisted the Sisters of St. Mary's at Sagada in the Mountain Province. From late 1952-1969 she served at Marygarth Mission of St. Michael and All Angel in Tadian, Kayan also in the Mountain Province. She retired on May 10, 1969.

The Papers of Deaconess Evelyn Ashcroft comprise correspondence between Deaconess Ashcroft and members of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Forrest City, Arkansas, who provided financial and material support for her missionary work. Most of the letters from Ashcroft were directed to Mrs. F.L. Proctor of the Auxiliary, and all of the letters to Ashcroft were from Proctor. Also included are photographs of mission life in the Philippines sent by Ashcroft.
