Voyagers All? The Historic Role of Missionary Societies in Shaping Children's Understandings of Britain's Place in The World, is a Collaborative Doctoral Partnership between the National Maritime Museum and the Sainsbury Research Unit. The genesis of the project is the desire to contextualize a collection of artifacts that the London Missionary Society donated to the National Maritime Museum in 2012, which have yet to be thoroughly researched.The central aim of my research shall be to examine the relationships between missionary texts, artefacts and imagery and how exposure to these elements of Missionary propaganda, from youth, affected the worldview of the children who were exposed to them, with a particular emphasis on how this worldview related to conceptions of Empire, national identity and Britain's place in the world. Missionary Societies recognized the importance of educating children, as both future church members but also as engaged participants and donors in their own right. In the London Missionary Society children played a pivotal role in fundraising for missionary ships. For working-class children in 19th Century Britain attendance at Sunday School was virtually unavoidable (Susan Thorne 2006, 143). As missionaries relied on donations to carry out their work they used an array of tools to woo contributors to their cause.a missionary back from Africa or Asia... could be expected to have with him the trappings of his work, maps and globes, idols used in pagan rites, and sometimes even a regenerated heathen (Prochaska 1978: 111) Images have always been sites of propaganda, power and doctrinal contention in Christianity (Brockey 2008) and were used extensively in Missionary educational programs (Brewer 2005) and form a crucial component of the material to be examined as they not only depict the wider world but also reflect their perception of Britain's place within it. The NMM collection contains items that were used by the LMS to shape children's perceptions of the world and their place within it. The collection will be contextualized by an exhaustive review and analysis of the collection itself and related primary and secondary sources, using an interdisciplinary approach comprising elements from, but not limited to, history, anthropology and art history. Fieldwork will be conducted in the NMM, allowing the in-depth examination of the collection and associated records.Parsing the relationship between imagined national identity and Britain's position in the world seems particularly timely as these debates are still resonating and form the backdrop to the current political upheavals.

所有的旅行者？传教士社团在塑造儿童对英国在世界上的地位的理解的历史作用，是国家海事博物馆和塞恩斯伯里研究单位之间的合作博士伙伴关系。该项目的起源是希望将伦敦传教士协会于2012年捐赠给国家海事博物馆的一系列文物置于背景中，这些文物尚未得到彻底研究。我研究的中心目标是研究传教士文本，文物和图像之间的关系，以及如何接触这些传教士宣传的元素，从年轻人，影响了孩子们的世界观，特别强调了这种世界观与帝国，民族认同和英国在世界上的地位的关系。传教会认识到教育儿童的重要性，因为儿童既是未来的教会成员，也是参与者和捐助者。在伦敦传教士协会中，儿童在为传教船筹款方面发挥了关键作用。对于19世纪世纪的英国工人阶级的孩子来说，参加主日学校几乎是不可避免的（Susan Thorne 2006，143）。由于传教士依靠捐款来开展工作，他们使用一系列工具来吸引捐助者为其事业捐款。从非洲或亚洲回来的传教士.可以预料，他会带着他的作品的装饰，地图和地球仪，异教徒仪式中使用的偶像，有时甚至是一个重生的异教徒。（Prochaska 1978：111）图像一直是宣传的网站，基督教中的权力和教义之争（Brockey 2008），并广泛用于传教士教育计划（Brewer 2005）并形成材料的重要组成部分，因为它们不仅描绘了更广阔的世界，而且反映了他们对英国在其中的地位的看法。NMM系列包含LMS用来塑造儿童这些藏品将通过对藏品本身和相关的一级和二级来源进行详尽的审查和分析，使用跨学科的方法，包括但不限于历史，人类学和艺术史的元素，来进行背景化。实地考察将在新博物馆进行，以便对藏品和相关记录进行深入研究。解析想象中的国家身份与英国在世界上的地位之间的关系似乎特别及时，因为这些辩论仍在引起共鸣，并构成当前政治动荡的背景。
