Administrative history
The United Missionary Church of Africa was incorporated in Nigeria in 1956. In 1978 the United Missionary Society turned over to the UMCA the work and property which it had begun and developed. Many missionaries stayed in Nigeria after the turnover working under the UMCA. These missionaries soon organized first as The Fellowship of Invited Missionaries and then as World Partners Nigeria.
Custodial history
The materials were collected by missionaries to Nigeria 1945 and since, some of whom were signatories to the transfer. They were most recently brought to the archives by Mr. Clare Fuller, himself a lifetime missionary to Nigeria.
