Correspondence, minutes, reports, monographs, financial records, mailing lists, questionnaires, and photographs related to the origin and activity of CAMEO, a joint committee of the Interdenominational Foreign Mission Association and the Evangelical Fellowship of Mission Agencies (EFMA, formerly Evangelical Foreign Missions Association). The documents reflect CAMEO’s development from a group that was primarily concerned with mission agency education programs to one assisting in the development of indigenous seminaries and Bible schools outside of the United States, especially in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands.

Subjects covered include theological education in developing countries throughout the world, programmed learning, a self-evaluation program for institutions, Theological Education by Extension (TEE), education of prospective pastors and Christian workers, IFMA and EFMA as the sponsoring bodies of CAMEO and activities of US-based mission agencies. Questionnaires returned from hundreds of institutions on priorities, staff methods, future plans, accrediation, etc; responses were later published as THE WORLD DIRECTORY OF MISSION-RELATED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. Featured correspondents include Ted Ward, Ralph Winter, Fred Holland, Sam Rowen, Delbert Kuehl, Milton Baker, C. Peter Wagner, Philip Armstrong and CAMEO's leaders such as Raymond Buker, Sr., Lois McKinney, and H. Wilbert Norton.
