"Preliminary Discussions about the Cameroon Mission "

Series E-1 consists of 147 documents that were bound into an archive volume and 12 unbound documents. The documents record an internal discussion at the Basel Mission about the possibility of taking over land and buildings used by the (British) Baptist Missionary Society in Cameroon and about the advisability of starting work in this new German colony. There is also some correspondence between the Basel Mission, the Baptist Missionary Society and the German government. Document No. 1 is a 19-page report on the Bremen conference of all German Protestant missionary societies held in October 1885 to discuss their attitude to the question of work in the new German colonies.
