Scope and content
Documents from the time of the Mission from 1846 to 1972 and about the Mission and Diaspora Seminar, which was closed in 1985. Documents about the mission in New Guinea since 1886 with station reports and correspondence of the missionaries. Personnel files and missionary bequests. Dictionaries, grammars and translations of native languages of New Guinea and East Africa as well as maps are also available. Documents on the history of the Mission in Tanzania are only available to a limited extent due to the competence of the Leipzig Mission until 1961. Historical images and audiovisual media. An extensive ethnographic collection that is currently being developed by the Verein für Kultur Neuguinea e.V. (Association for Culture New Guinea). The focus is on cult and everyday objects that the missionaries brought back from their working and living environment on the Huon Peninsula and the Sepik region in New Guinea. Historical journals, including those of the Missionsanstalt from 1843, are a good supplement to the existing original documents.
