| Notes | Established in 1701 by royal chapter during the reign of King William III in order "That a maintenance for an orthodox clergy and other provision may be made for the propagation of the Gospel in the plantations beyond the sea," it was not until 1863 that China became the first country outside the British Empire to which the SPG sent missionaries, followed in 1873 by Japan and later by Korea. Though earlier references can be found in the minutes of Society's meetings in the Journal, also published separately on microfilm and online, this collection comprises chiefly the volumes of copies of letters received (CLR) and copies of letters sent (CLS) for the period from 1872 to 1931, and relating to activities in these three countries:
