Historical Photographs from the Basel Mission
Alternate Title:

Description
The archives of mission 21 / Basel Mission contain historical photographs, written records, printed and hand-drawn maps, and building plans. This collection is a very important resource for research in many academic fields such as general history and church history, social and cultural anthropology, geography, environmental sciences and linguistics. The cross-linking of available information is one of the goals in the process of improving the degree of accessibility of these materials.
The collection of historical photographs contains images from the early years of photography to the middle of the 20th century, including 28,400 images that are digitally accessible. The images were taken in the historic Basel Mission fields in Africa and Asia, with a principal focus on Ghana, Cameroon, South India (mainly Karnataka and Kerala), South China (mainly Hakka-speaking parts of the Guangdong province and Hong Kong), and Kalimantan.
