→European Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives: Danish-Halle Mission moved here
Arguably smaller numbers of Christian missionaries were sponsored in India by Continental organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans
=== 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).
Search the extensive archives of the Danish-Halle Mission through the [http://192.124.243.55/cgi-bin/dhmeng.pl?t_maske online catalogues] (in English), where there is biographical information in addition to indexes of the resources.
