The Archives

Historical documents from mid 16th century onwards are preserved here on palm leaves, paper, and digitized soft copies. The documents bear on the four successive periods in the history of the Jesuit Missions in the Indian Peninsula: The Jesuit Goa Province from 1542 when St.Francis Xavier landed in Goa, the Malabar Provice, the Old Madura Mission and the New Madura Mission from 1838 onwards.
