Extract

The Moravian archives are located in the small German town of Herrnhut, not far from the Polish and Czech borders. The archives are a treasure of information on the extensive and fascinating history of missionary work, which took the Protestant missionaries to all continents. The many letters and annual reports which the missionaries sent to Herrnhut also contain valuable and lively ethnographic descriptions.
