The best bibliography of Appenzeller material is in Da viesDaniel M., The Life and Thought of Henry Gerhard Appenzeller (1858–1902), Missionary to Korea (Lewiston, N.Y.: Edwin Mellen Press, 1988), pp. 409–44 (a published form of Davies's 1986 Drew University Ph.D. dissertation). The most important single source is the Henry Gerhard Appenzeller Papers, lodged at the Union Theological Seminary Library in New York City. Some of these papers were transcribed in typewritten form under the sponsorship of Chong Dong First Methodist Church (Seoul) in 1986, in six volumes under the series title H. G. Appenzeller Papers. Other important archival collections are located at the United Methodist Archives Center and University Archives at Drew University, Madison, New Jersey, and at Yonsei and Ewha Woman's Universities in Seoul.
