The International Archive of Mission Photography, ca.1860-ca.1960
The archive of Missions 21 / Basel Missions contains historic photos, records, paper and hand-drawn cards and blueprints. It is a very important research tool in many areas of academia such as general and ecclesiastical historiography, general and anthropological studies, geographical and linguistic research. Our photographic collections contain pictures from the beginnings of the photographic world up to the mid twentieth centuries, of which 28,400 are available in digital form.
They were photographed in Basel's historical mission field in Africa and Asia, focusing on Ghana, Cameroon, South India (mainly Karnataka and Kerala), South China (mainly Hakka talking parts of Guangdong and Hong Kong) and Kalimantan.
