Histoire administrative
The Missionary Society of the Church of England in Canada (MSCC) was created in September 1902 by the General Synod. The MSCC formed by combining the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, the Canadian Church Missionary Society, and the Woman’s Auxiliary. Its aim was to include all members of the Church into domestic and foreign missions. Internationally, it sponsored missions in Japan, China, India, Palestine, and Egypt. In Canada, the MSCC participated in assisting missionary dioceses, the Columbia Coast Mission, Church Camp Missions, Jewish Missions, Japanese Missions, Immigration chaplaincies, and Residential Schools, as well as working with First Nations and Inuit and with immigrants and settlers. The MSCC ceased operations in the late 1960s, although its Board of Management still produces financial statements related with ongoing MSCC legacies and trusts.

Collection might be similar to the Missionary Society of the Church of England in Canada fonds, at the Anglican Church of Canada Diocese of Rupert's Land, Manitoba.
Lantern slides shows were used during the 1920s and 1930s by the Church of England in Canada to promote the work of their missionaries and to raise funds. The slide shows took place during missionaries’ services, church services, Sunday school groups, and special church programs. Usually, the slide shows were complemented with a text with basic commentary on the mission and content of the slides.
