The archives of the Gujarat Diocese of the Church of North India, held at the Gujarat United School of Theology is an important archive for documenting the life of the church in India, with documentation dating back to the middle of the nineteenth century. Besides the regular contents such as minutes, correspondence and reports, the archives contain a selected set of monographs on various subjects in mostly English and Gujarati. The monographs that were printed by the mission presses in India are added to this collection because of their limited circulation.
The materials are also published online. MARC21 records for the monographs and an EAD finding aid for the archival section are available.

The Archives of the Council for World Mission (incorporating the archives of the London Missionary Society) are among the oldest archives on missionary work, with files of correspondence and travel reports dating back to the eighteenth century.
This material is now housed in the Library of the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. The special value of these archives lies in the wealth of unpublished historical source material pertaining to colonial countries of Africa, Asia, and South America. One of the rare treasures, for instance, is the collection of 115 original letters - with a considerable number of insertions - written by David Livingstone, together with copies of letters sent to him.
