This series of guides to material on Africa in selected German-language mission archives began as a pilot project of the Universities of Bayreuth and Leipzig with support from the Volkswagen Foundation (1998-2000). The guides make it easier for anthropologists, historians, linguists and others interested in Africa to find written (unprinted) or photographic material before visiting the archive concerned. Those covered so far include Basel, Bremen, Herrnhut, Leipzig, Neuendettelsau, Nuremberg and St. Ottilien, as well as Moshi in Tanzania. The series also includes two collections of papers relating to the history and archives of German missions.
