Dr J. Graham Miller and Mrs Flora Miller were missionaries in Vanuatu for the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. They served on Tongoa Island in the Shepherd Group from 1941 to 1947, when Dr Miller became principal of the Tangoa Teachers Training Institute on Santo Island, where they remained until 1952. In 1971 they were invited, by the Presbyterian Church of the New Hebrides, back to Tangoa to set up a Presbyterian Bible College and to prepare for national leadership of the College in 1973. Dr Miller's papers relate to the development and inauguration of the Presbyterian Church of the New Hebrides, the South Pacific Missionary Conference, 1947, Morpeth NSW and his 1961 John G. Paton Memorial Lecture.
