The Abbie Park Ferguson Papers consist of correspondence, a devotional book, newsletters, transcripts of letters, biographical information, and a photgraph all with particular emphasis on the early history of Huguenot College in Wellington, Cape Colony, South Africa. The papers include information on Huguenot College from its founding until 1918. Of particular interest is Ferguson's correspondence which discusses the growth of Mount Holyoke College in the early thentieth century. A small devotional book written by Ferguson gives her comments on Ephesians. Two newsletters contain articles by Ferguson and also include letters from other missionaries around the world, describing their interactions with and attitudes toward the native peoples. A newsletter clipping contains a photograph of "Founders' Day" at Huguenot College. Transcripts of letters written by and about Ferguson and biological information by Anna Edwards constitute a large part of this collection. A resolution in honor of Ferguson, issued by Huguenot College; a photograph of her father; and a copy of the entry about Ferguson from "Notable American Women" are also included. The papers also contain correspondence by Anna Bliss '62.

This collection is organized into two series:

• Correspondence and Writings
