Calvin Roesler and his wife Ruth spent 43 years (1955-1998) as missionaries in Papua, formerly Irian Jaya, Indonesia. Their work was among the Asmat people in the swamps of the south coast. Linguistic work of devising a spelling system and translation of Scripture was carried out. The Calvin Roesler collection consists of one box of notes and transcripts which have been archived.
