Basel Mission Picture Archive (external link)
A unique collection of historical pictures of the former Basel Mission society (now mission 21). More than 28'000 photographs (and engravings) taken in the various mission fields during the years between 1850 and 1950 have been digitalised. They are linked to a comprehensive database, containing all information available on each picture, its photographer and the depicted object or person. This may be the first time, that such an important European collection has been made accessible to the people in the countries were the pictures were taken. The archives of mission 21 invite you to explore this unique resource and to start an inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogue on the pictures and the past.
