Newspaper Clippings, 1898 - 1937
Scope and Contents
Series contains two scrapbooks of mounted newspaper clippings relating to the social missionary work of Frederick Brainerd Bridgman and Clara Davis Bridgman (1898-1937). Prominent among the clippings are those taken from South African newspapers (the Johannesburg Star, the Ilang laseNatal, and the Daily Mail, among others). These pieces chronicled the press coverage of the Bridgman’s missionary work, highlighting the focal points of their labor like the Helping Hand Club, the Bridgman Memorial Hospital, and other local programs. The series also includes a copy and original print of an unpublished newsletter circulated by Frederick Brainerd Bridgman entitled “The Transvaal News” (1918-19).
