India was one of the first areas of operation of the Basel Mission, the largest supporting organization of Mission 21. The Basel Mission operated printing works in India. As a result, the archive has printed material in Indian languages that cannot be found anywhere else, including Malayalam, the ambassador's mother tongue. Sibi George and his wife were also immersed in documents in Malayalam in the archive reading room and learned about the archive's digital collection (www.bmarchives.org).
The research archive and library of Mission 21 document extensively and in many facets over 200 years of world history. Most of the archive material comes from the Basel Mission, founded in 1815, which was primarily active in Ghana, Cameroon, South India, South China and Kalimantan (Indonesia).
