TARA: Teaching and Research Archive for the History of Christianity
Sponsored by the American Society of Church History
Visual presentation of photos showing the complex interaction or encounters between Basel Missionaries – usually Swiss or German – and West Africans, Indians, and Chinese between 1850 and 1950.
The historical images in the International Mission Photography Archive come from Protestant and Catholic missionary collections held at a number of centers in Britain, Europe, and North America. The photographs record missionary endeavors and reflect the missionaries’ experience of communities and environments abroad.
