Slover suggests that the LDS Historical Dept. contains a 'wealth of materials on the Asia mission,' but that these materials 'have rarely been studied and have never been surveyed or indexed.' (p. 107) His survey attempts to do this. 'The materials fall into six general categories: First, published books and theses, missionary magazines, tracts, manuals, and missionary materials; second, various records kept by members of the Church in each country and by the Historian's office at home; third, biographical sketches and journals of Church leaders who have been associated with Asia; fourth, original manuscript material and photographs; fifth, periodical publications which have included materials on Asia; sixth, statistical files.' (p. 107)
