dc.provenanceThe AVDA collection consists of copies of Avedaper kept as an archival set by the publication department of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions at its offices in the Board's Istanbul headquarters, the "Bible House" or "Amerikan Han," located at Fıncancılar Yokuşu No. 50. When the Publication Department was restructured as the Redhouse Press in 1966, the collection remained in the Redhouse archives. In 1996, the Redhouse Press was incorporated as an independent company, SEV Matbaacılık ve Yayıncılık Eğitim Tıcaret A.Ş., or "SEV-YAY," and the collection was given to the American Board, which then served as the local liaison agency of the United Church of Christ. (Circa 1960 the ABCFM had been dissolved and it activities absorbed into the UCC’s mission program, which retained the longstanding title “American Board” for its Turkish agency.) The AVDA collection was incorporated into the Board’s library in 2005. After the UCC closed the Board office at the end of 2010, it transferred ownership of the collection, as well as the rest of the library, to the American Research Institute in Turkey (2011).
