This is a living archive of Hope & Wilhelmina Hospital / 救世醫院 · 威廉明娜醫院 and the Reformed Church in America mission on Kulangsu. It is still being compiled, and it is incomplete in places we know about and places we do not. Corrections and contributions are warmly welcome.

How you can help
Identify people or places in photographs
Many prints in the archive show faces nobody has named yet. If you recognise someone — or the building behind them — that is the single most valuable thing you can send us.
Correct a date, a name, or a relationship
Romanizations of Amoy-dialect names vary widely, and dates in mission records disagree with each other. If something here is wrong, we would rather know.
Share photographs, letters, or records
Material connected to Hope & Wilhelmina Hospital, the nurse school, the churches, the cemetery, or the families of the mission.
Tell us a family story
Recollections and family history tied to the people and places in the archive. Family memory has already corrected this record where no document could.
When writing about something specific, please include its archive link — the address in your browser when you have the person, place, or photograph open. It lets us attach your correction to the right record rather than guessing which one you meant.
