Charles Lynch Phillips was born in Branchville, New Jersey. After graduating from Clark University, Wooster, Massachusetts in 1907 he attended Princeton Theological Seminary for three years and was ordained in 1910. The same year he was appointed to the PCUSA's Korea Mission at Pyengyang. A year after his arrival he married Eva Florence Plummer who had been a missionary at Pyengyang since 1909. The two conducted evangelistic work at Pyengyang until 1940 when the outbreak of the Second World War forced them to return to the U.S. Returning to Korea in 1947 the Phillips resumed their work in Seoul evangelizing and conducting relief work. They retired in 1950.
The scrapbook primarily consists of photographs which document Phillips's work in Korea in the 1930s.
