Özet
XIX. yüzyılın başından itibaren Osmanlı coğrafyasında faaliyet gösteren Amerikan Board misyonerleri Van’da sağlık ve eğitim gibi birçok alanda faaliyet gösterdiler. Misyonerlerin Van’ı faaliyet bölgesi olarak tercih etmelerinin sebebi burada yaşayan Ermeni nüfusun yoğunluğudur. Bu bağlamda Ermenilerin yaşadığı Acem Haço Mahallesi misyoner kurumlarının neredeyse tamamının kurulduğu yerdir. Bu çalışmada Amerikan Board misyonerlerinin Van’daki faaliyetleri ve bu faaliyetlerden biri olan Van Amerikan Hastanesi üzerinde durulacaktır.AbstractThe Activities of the American Board in Van and Van American HospitalSince the early XIXth century missionaries of the American Board had done in the fields of healty and education in the Ottoman Empire.
