Indian and Sri Lankan Records from Colonial Missionaries, 1770-1931 - Key Data

The United Society Partners in Gospel (USPG) is a UK-based Anglican missionary organisation that operates around the world. During the 18^th, 19^th, and early-20^th centuries, the USPG went by the name of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG). This collection includes letters and supplementary material compiled by its Indian and Sri Lankan branches during the period 1770-1952. 

The papers provide an invaluable insight into the spread of Christianity in South Asia, life under the British Raj, and the causes and impact of Partition. 

Note: This collection is accompanied by an online guide written by Isobel Pridmore, formerly the archivist at the USPG, whose archives are now held at Rhodes House Library in Oxford.
