      <head>Collection Overview</head>
      <p>The Ayers Family Papers includes photographs and personal papers (1918-1949) from both Dr. Thomas Willburn Ayers and his son Dr. Sanford Emmett Ayers. The collection documents their time spent in Hwanghsien, China where they were medical missionaries. The papers provide an interesting insight into missionary thinking in the early phases of the Sino-Japanese war and in the immediate post-war period. The photographs enhance the picture of their time in China, often times depicting the hospital and the staff, and the students Dr. and Mrs. Ayers taught. The microfilm reel contains biographical information about the Ayers family by Frank Henning and writings of T.W Ayers and Sanford related to their mission and medical work.</p>
