Other Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives: reorganisation
== Other Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==
Arguably smaller Smaller numbers of Christian missionaries were sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans, or other organisations and groups in the British colonies such as Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, may also be accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.
=== Danish-Halle Mission ===
 
Lutheran. First missionaries to India were the Germans Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg (1683–1719) and Heinrich Plütschau (1678–1747), who established the Tamil Mission at the Danish enclave of Tranquebar, in South India in 1706. In addition to work in Tranquebar and the other Danish enclave of Serampore, there were other mission stations along the Mallabar Coast. Some worked in India under the auspices of other societies or on secondment to them, so there may be additional material held elsewhere (e.g. SPCK, see entry above).
