Mapping Missions: New Data for the Study of African History (Dataset)

The dataset contains the digitized version of a map created by Hildegard Binder Johnson in 1967, showing the locations of Potestant and Catholic mission stations in Africa around 1923/27. The map provides greater coverage of mission stations established in colonial times than other currently used data sources, and we have shown that using it in analyses can can lead to substantively different findings.
