The “Church Missionary Society Archive” and “Missionary Studies” databases have been licensed for the University of Tübingen.
Church Missionary Society Archive
This database offers an extensive collection of source material on the work of this globally influential organization, which was founded in 1799 as an Anglican-Evangelical movement and remains active to this day. For researchers in the fields of missiology and world history, this diverse archive is an invaluable resource. It includes documents from both the CMS and the numerous other missionary societies that have been associated with or affiliated with it throughout its history.
Access is available via DBIS.
Missionary Studies
These primary sources are an extremely important resource for research on missionary work, educational efforts, medical work, evangelism, political conflicts, and the emergence of indigenous churches. The collections are truly global in scope, with Africa, East and South Asia, Australasia, and the Pacific region, as well as North and South America, equally well represented. The sources are of interest to scholars from a wide range of disciplines, from missiology to colonial history to anthropology.
Access is available via DBIS.
