Documentation, Archives, Bibliography and Oral History (DABOH)

General | Lien

DOBAH has a worldwide interest, but the resources they have developed and shared on this website are relevant for those intending to collect, store and share local oral history and archival material.

Description

"The IAMS Mission Study Group, Documentation, Archives, Bibliography and Oral History (DABOH) came into being in the earliest meetings of IAMS following its inception in 1972.  We now have an active core of more than fifty members worldwide.

Over 35 years the aims expressed in the purpose statement ... have renewed our belief that archives and the documentation of the mission of the church are about life and the future. As mission studies and missiology have matured as disciplines essential to a global and cross-cultural understanding of Christian faith, we remain committed to finding ways to “Rescue the memory of our peoples” and to ground critical and theological reflection on the mission of the church in the historical and cultural experiences of the people of God."

Notes

DABOH has a worldwide interest, but the resources they have developed and shared on this website are relevant for those intending to collect, store and share local oral history and archival material. Many resources allowing the understanding of the history of African Christian communities and local outreach can easily be lost when not properly collected and stored and yet these are crucial for the understanding of local Christian expressions, lives theologies and contextual mission.
