Audio cassette tapes, typescripts, correspondence, financial documents, and grant proposals comprise the records of the China Oral History Project.

Included are 125 audio cassettes that represent 54 of the 56 total interviews conducted (there are no recordings available for two of the interviewees). In addition, a typescript of his/her transcribed interview is available. The average interview runs from three to four hours and focuses primarily on each interviewee's experiences as a missionary in China. Of particular interest are the missionaries' accounts of the Japanese occupation of China during the Second World War and the Communist Revolution which followed.
