Essay: Archival Materials of the American Ceylon Mission/ Jaffna Diocese of the Church of
South India
This article, by former AISLS fellow Barney Bate, is a quite detailed description of the archival
materials held by the Jaffna Diocese of the Church of South India (JDSCI). These documents
were moved in February and March 2005 from the Diocesan Office at Vaddukoddai to the Christian
Theological Seminary at Maruthanarmadam. Most of the documents comprise materials from the
establishment of the American Ceylon Mission (ACM) in 1816 by the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) to the transfer of the ACM to the Church of South India (CSI) in
1947. There are also some official materials from the Bishoprics of the Rt. Rev. Dr. S.
Kulendran and the Rt. Rev. D.J. Ambalavanar, a small pamphlet collection from the same, and
a small collection of Bishop Kulendran's personal papers. Scholars are welcome to use this
collection. Inquires should be directed to The Principal, Christian Theological Seminary,
Maruthanarmadam, Jaffna, Northern Province, Sri Lanka.

- International Directory of South Asia Scholars
The IDSAS is a continuously-updated international directory containing
records of individuals who have identified themselves as being involved in
any aspect of South Asian Studies. Entries are submitted by the persons
listed and contain information relevant in identifying them and the nature of
their work. The Directory is fully indexed, allowing readers to conduct a
search by name or keyword (e.g. subject of interest [Kandy history, Sri Lanka
Buddhist iconography, etc.], city or country, university or affiliation).
If you would like to include your name in the Directory, or the name of another
South Asian Studies specialist (with his or her approval), please compose an
entry with the following elements:
Name:
Title:
Affiliation:
Mail address:
Phone(s):
Fax:
Email:
Webpage:
Include a short statement of activities, teaching and/or research interests, and a list
of publications (including appropriate keywords and detailed descriptions so
that others can search for your entry). Please note that, because this
directory includes scholars of South Asia in general, be sure to
designate your interest as "Sri Lanka" or "Sri Lankan" when appropriate.
