Missionary Archives
The Archives of the Council for World Mission (incorporating the archives of the London Missionary Society) are among the oldest archives on missionary work, with files of correspondence and travel reports dating back to the eighteenth century.
This material is now housed in the Library of the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. The special value of these archives lies in the wealth of unpublished historical source material pertaining to colonial countries of Africa, Asia, and South America. One of the rare treasures, for instance, is the collection of 115 original letters - with a considerable number of insertions - written by David Livingstone, together with copies of letters sent to him.
