The first envoys of the Church Missionary Society arrived at King Mutesa’s court on June 30, 1877. After eight decades, and despite severe persecution, Uganda ultimately became one of the most successful mission fields in the world. By 1914, nearly the whole of the area we now know as Uganda was evangelized, largely due to the work of its indigenous teachers and with support from a few European missionaries. In 1961 the growth of the Church of Uganda was recognized in the Anglican Communion with the establishment of the Church of the Province of Uganda, Rwanda-Burundi and Boga-Zaire. This collection is an important source not only for the history of Christianity in Uganda, but also for the political and social development of the country, both before and after its independence. During the years 2007 – 2009 the following seven parts from the archive were scanned: 1. Office of the bishop of Uganda 2. Education Secretary General 3. General Secretary 4. Financial Secretary 5. Archbishop’s Office 6. Provincial Secretary 7. Mother’s Union Hereafter the box listing of the first part is given. The information includes the reference to the microfilm copy that has been produced from the scans. The collection includes materials such as correspondence, reports, minutes, development plans, policy statements, constitutions andlegal documents, contracts, registers (for marriages, baptism and confirmation), publications, personal records and staff lists since the founding of the Church in 1877 up to early 1980s.
