Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 1851 Date late: 1852 Proper date: 1851-1852 Description An account of the resource This volume evidently contains what is intended as a full set of the minutes and regulations generated by Josenhans’ visitation as Inspektor (effectively: CEO). It covers all the areas where the Basel Mission was working, and includes notes on a number of one-to-one discussions with individual missionaries. As with C-1.9 the bulk of the material has been produced by a lithographic method which allowed for the duplication of handwritten MSS. But there are also some MS documents which were evidently not duplicated. There is a four-page index of contents at the front of the volume, but it is not organised as carefully as the normal C-1 volumes, and care must be taken in referring to its contents, since the documents do not have single unambiguous references. At the end of the volume a mauve paper file has been put into an envelope with the title Zur ostindischen Visitation 1851/1852. f.ii.2.b1 (i.e. "on the Visitation of East India 1851/2", with a reference number that now makes no sense). The main contents of this file are as follows: firstly, a large number of mostly single-sheet letters written to Josenhans in India or in some way linked to his visit and deliberations. secondly a number of letters written by Josenhans in his own hand to the Mission Committee in Basel thirdly, nos. 15 to 17 of the duplicated Vertrauliche Mitteilungen ("Confidential Information" distributed to leading supporters of the Mission), including in No. 15 a 3-page life of Hermann Kaundinya. Only no. 17 is dated (Sep. 1851). lastly, offprints of articles published in Evangelische Heidenbote on Josenhans’ visit to India Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context C-01,010 Subject The topic of the resource [Archives catalogue]: Guides / Finding aids: Archives: C - India: C-01 - Letters and Reports from Karnataka, Kerala and the Nilgiris 1834-1912.

This volume was almost certainly created in India and belonged to the archive of a mission station, or an individual missionary. However, at the archive in Basel it was assigned to Inspector Josenhans' visitation journey with the reference number C-01. The volumen consists exlusively of lithographed circulars and protocolls. It seems to contain no documents which are not available in C-1.10 as well.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 1851 Proper date: 1851 Description An account of the resource NB This volume has neither a general index nor individual indexes to its separate parts. By the end of the volume the orthodox structure of sections corresponding to individual mission stations is visible, in the sense that the sheets of strong grey paper usually used at this time to separate one section from another are present, though they are smaller in format that of the dominant letters, and so not easy to find. The sections which can be identified are (in the order in which they appear): Mulki; a very small indeterminate section following the letters from Mulki; Dharwad; Hubli; Gadag Betgeri; Malasamudra (very little); Guledagudda / Gadag Betgeri (again) (very small section); Cannanore; Tellicherry; Chombala; Calicut; Kaity. The beginning of the volume consists of a large single section which takes up a quarter to a third of the whole. It seems to be a mixture of correspondence from the Basel Mission’s leading officials in India, and from the Mangalore station. This section includes some documents in English, some of them written by Indian members of the mission staff, and some documents in Kannada, again written by Indian members of the mission staff. Since this volume is neither indexed nor numbered through great care must be taken in referring to its contents, and researchers must be aware that as things stand it will be very difficult to identify a document unambiguously in such a way that other scholars will be able to find it. It is unusually large for this period of the Basel Mission in India. The contents between the covers are approx. 5 cm thick.

The first section consists of a large section in which correspondence from the Mangalore station is mixed with the correspondence of the documents generated by the Mission’s leading officials and organs in India. The Mangalore correspondence again includes materials from the Mission’s Indian staff. NB there is a travel report by Kaundinya to Dharmastalla and Subramaniah, dated 5th-24th December 1852, at the very end of this section.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 1854 Date late: 1868 Proper date: 1854-1868 Description An account of the resource NB „Oekonomie" in the Schwabian version of German in the 19th century refers especially to the land around a house on which a family grew (some of) its food. With this background "Oekonomie" in the German of the Basel Mission refers to practical local support structures - questions, to farming, and to any craft- or industrial production process which may have been connected with the Mission. A fair translation of this volume’s title in English would be, therefore: Reports from those responsible for the "economy" of the Basel Mission in India in general, and of those responsible for the "economy" of the Mission in its three districts of Southern and Northern Karnataka and North Kerala, 1854 to 1868. The volume contains 158 separate documents which are listed in an index at the front. They have been bound in more or less in date order. There are no sub-sections defined by individual districts or mission stations. The index includes (for the first time in Series C-1) a caption giving a short indication of the document’s contents. Although the title indicates the the earliest documents date from 1854 in fact there are only 9 documents from the years 1854-1859 inclusive. There are, however, 33 documents from 1860, 16 from 1861. 4 from 1862, 43 from 1863, 15 from 1864, none from 1865 and 1866, 11 from 1867 and 20 from 1868. This volume does not have a fully clear function in relation to the main C-1 volumes from these years. Indeed, for 1867-8 it mainly seems to be a collecting point for items sent to Basel by G. Pfleiderer, who was the head of the Mission’s practical administration in those years. Nevertheless, looked at as a whole it contains a lot of material on land purchase, land administration (rents for people settled on mission land), building, and the training and activity of craftsmen. People working on individual places - Kodakal e.g. - would find it well worth while checking to see what local reports have found their way into this particular volume.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 1859 Proper date: 1859 Description An account of the resource NB in 1859 the Quarterly Reports were collected together in a separately bound volume: C-1.25, see below. The style of indexing remains very cursory, but the inner organisation of the volume is somewhat different from C-1.23, and we have, consequently, listed the different sections here with the number of documents in each. The volume begins with a section which has lost its title page and index, but is evidently the minutes and correspondence of the "Missionaries’ General Conference" of the Basel Mission in India, the Mission’s local directorate. This section consists of 13 documents, some very substantial. It ends with a 4-page lithographed draft of the regulations for the Widows’ and Orphans’ Fund of the Indian Catechists working for the Basel Mission, and with a 56-page lithographed draft of regulations for Basel Mission schools in India. There follows a separate section for the minutes of the Canara District Conference [of the Basel Mission] in September and November 1859, followed by the Stations of what we would now call the Basel Mission district of Southern Karnataka: Mangalore (68 documents, NB documents 60-68 have been misfiled between document 45 and 46); Udipi & Mulki (20 documents); Madikeri (44 documents, including some letters written from Anandapoor). The District Conference Minutes from South Mahratta, March and August 1859 (two documents) precede the documents from individual stations in this North Karnataka district; Dharwad (5 documents); Hubli (10); Gadag Betgeri (9); Malasamudra (6); Guledagudda (3); The District Conference minutes from Malabar (2 documents) are followed by the sections for the individual stations in North Kerala: Cannanore (36 documents); Talatscheri (27); Calicut [the orthography has returned to 19th century orthodoxy] (25); Chomabala (13); Palghat (11) and Keti (18). An envelope at the end of this volume contains two documents reflecting discussion taking place in the Mission Committee in Basel: Gundert’s opinion on the position of English-medium schools in the Basel Mission in India dated Basel 5th July 1859, and an extensive minute on a Committee decision relating to industrial and economic activities of the Basel Mission in India, dated April-June 1859.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 1859 Proper date: 1859 Description An account of the resource This volume contains 101 documents. They have all been given serial numbers. There is no bound-in index, though what appears to be the draft MS preparation for an index is filed loosely in an envelope at the end of the volume. And indeed, the order in which the reports have been bound together seems to correspond to the order in which the individual stations appear in C-1.24 and in the draft list. If this is the case the relative scarcity of letters from Northern Karnataka in C-1.24 is balanced by the larger volume of quarterly reports from that area in this volume, though the draft list does not include the Northern Karnataka stations. NB a quarterly report by Würth on Hindu/Lingayat beliefs, dated June 1859, has been filed in C-1.26, in an appendix (Anhang) at the end of the volume. Series C-1 in the 1860s. From 1860 the characteristic organisation of the annual filing of the letters and reports received from India has one volume covering the correspondence of the Mission’s central administration in India, PLUS correspondence from the two Kannada-speaking districts ("South Mahratta" and "Canara"), and a second volume covering the correspondence from North Kerala ("Malabar") and the Nilgiris. The volume of correspondence each year remains more or less constant. This Guide offers a detailed insight into the organisation of the volumes for 1860 (C-1.26 and C-1.27) and 1865 (C-1.36 and C-1.37) but will only comment on the organisation of the years 1861-19 when these diverge from the 1860 norm. The indexing continues, on the whole, unhelpful and very cursory, but there are signs that "help is on the way" -a caption is given for the content of Quarterly Reports in these volumes. When this is possible the Guide gives some specimen indications of what look like especially interesting single reports, or groups of reports, for 1860 and 1865.
