Microfilm No. 5350 Summary Main Entry: Baptist Missionary Society Archives Date Span: 1792 – 1914 Abstract: Microfilm includes Society minutes, records of Society committees, Home Office correspondence, and missionary journals and correspondence Size: 90 microfilm reels Collection #: Microfilm No. 5350 Historical Sketch The Archives of the Baptist Missionary Society of England comprise one of the most significant Baptist manuscript collections in the world. The Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives, Nashville, TN, is grateful to the Baptist Missionary Society for permitting the Historical Commission, SBC, to microfilm this valuable manuscript collection and to make microfilm prints available to other libraries. Through this cooperative project, these resources are now available for study of the modern missionary movement, which began in 1792 with the formation of the Baptist Missionary Society and the appointment of William Carey and others to India. From that small but historic beginning, the work of the Baptist Missionary Society eventually spread around the world. Historical Background The Baptist Missionary Society was founded in 1792 by William Carey (1761 – 1834). As a youth, Carey had developed an interest in missionary work in the South Seas through reading the accounts of Captain Cook’s 1769 – 1770 voyages to that region. This interest was accentuated when Carey read Jonathan Edwards’ book Life of Brainerd. In 1792, Carey himself authored a paper, “An Inquiry into the Obligations of Christians to use Means for the Conversion of the Heathen.” His two sermons in that year, one before the Baptist Association at Nottingham and the other before the Baptist Association at Kettering, were impassioned pleas for missions, and these are generally credited with spurring the interest in others, which resulted in the founding of the Baptist Missionary Society October 2, 1792.

The original intent of the Society was to foster mission work in the South Seas, but this was given up when a definite burden was felt for the heathen of India. In March, 1793, William Carey sailed with John Thomas (1757 – 1792), and they landed in Calcutta in November of that year. Work was

concentrated in the areas of Bible translation, preaching, teaching, and the founding of schools. It was not until 1800, however, that Carey baptized the first Hindu convert. In 1810, the India work was organized into five missions, and, by 1813, the Society could report sixty-three workers, native and European, involved in twenty mission stations. Two other men heavily involved in organizing the India work were Joshua Marshman (1768 – 1837) and William Ward (1769 – 1823).

A mission begun in Sierra Leone in 1795 proved to be abortive. Work was not resumed in West Africa until 1842, when stations were founded both on the Spanish island of Fernando Po and in Cameroon. Spanish authorities halted the Fernando Po mission in 1858. The Cameroon work continued until 1887, when German colonization there paved the way for the Basle Missionary Society to take over that mission. In 1878, the Baptist Missionary Society entered the Congo and Angola. Missionaries were forced to withdraw from both areas in 1961.

A mission was begun on Ceylon in 1812. In 1813, the West Indies work was begun in Jamaica, followed by mission stations in British Honduras (1822), the Bahamas (1833), Trinidad and the Dominican Republic (both 1843), and Haiti (1845). A mission was founded in France in 1834; other European stations later included Norway and Italy. Attempts to place missionaries in China were not successful at first, but work was established there by 1877. The Society extended itself into Japan in 1879 and into Palestine in 1880. With the Communist takeover in China in 1949, the Society withdrew from there and sought to continue its mission to the Chinese people via Hong Kong. In 1853, work was begun in Brazil. The Society also participated with other mission boards in Nepal and Sierra Leone missions. Bible translation and publishing were important functions of the Society. By William Carey’s death in 1834, it had already translated the entire Bible into forty languages and dialects. Joshua Marshman translated the Bible into Chinese and prepared a Chinese grammar and dictionary. In addition, many sacred texts of the Chinese and Hindus were translated into English. The Society’s publishing arm, the Carey Press, was amalgamated in 1847 with the Kingsgate Press of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland to form the Carey Kingsgate Press Limited. Scope and Content The microfilm includes four types of materials: Society minutes, records of Society committees, Home Office correspondence, and missionary journals and correspondence. The latter division of materials is arranged by geographical areas. Index cards identifying each main division and subdivision in these materials – including names of correspondents – appear on the film before each group of materials. The first reel (Reel A) contains a Guide printed by the Historical Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and a comprehensive Catalog identifying each letter included in the Missionary Correspondence. The Catalog is arranged alphabetically by name of missionary within each geographical area. The majority of the more than 165,900 pages of original manuscript materials in this collection were clearly legible, but some pages were poor copy and difficult to read. In a few instances, pages were illegible. The microphotographers in every case used care and skillful techniques to procure the best possible image of each manuscript in the collection. Some pages, which were illegible, were not microfilmed.

The negative copies of the microfilm are located in the Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives in Nashville, Tennessee. The materials were microfilmed on location in the facilities of the Baptist Missionary Society in London, England. Condition of Originals. The majority of the more than 165,900 pages of original manuscript materials in this collection were clearly legible, but some pages were poor copy and difficult to read. In a few instances pages were illegible. The microfilmers in every case used care and skillful techniques to procure the best possible image of each manuscript in the collection. Some pages, which were illegible, were not microfilmed. Several factors caused legibility problems. Some manuscripts were water-damaged during the London Blitz in World War II. In the early years, both paper and ink were made by the missionaries. Some inks feathered, causing the image to spread on the page. Lavender inks faded badly. Use of quill pens resulted in some copy being difficult to read. Pages in letter press books and other thin paper pages had to be backed up with white sheets to make images more readable when microfilmed. A sort of lamination-type of process used on some of the manuscripts impaired readability. What appears on the microfilm in such cases is the best possible image. Scrolls were microfilmed in segments. Multiple letters on small sheets pasted side by side in scrapbooks were sometimes filmed simultaneously in one exposure. Restrictions: The Baptist Missionary Society has opened these materials from its archives, dated 1792 – 1914, for study by scholars and other researchers investigating the history of Baptist missions. Literary rights are retained by the Society. Responsibility for obtaining permission to cite these materials rests with the individual researcher. See BMS address listed below. Guide. The following pages provide a Guide to the contents of each of the ninety reels of microfilm containing the Baptist Missionary Society Archives manuscripts, 1792 – 1914. The four divisions of the archives were microfilmed in the following sequence. The reel numbers containing the materials of each division are given below:

I. Minutes of the Baptist Missionary Society (1792 – 1914), Reels 1 – 9 II. Minutes of Society Committees (1793 – 1914), Reels 10 – 19 III. Home Office Correspondence (1792 – 1914), Reels 20 – 34 IV. Missionary Journals and Correspondence (1792 – 1914), Reels 35 – 90
