Abstract

108 from German sources are also asked to provide a draft translation of the document concerned, thus making it available for English readers. 3. An Archival System to Encourage Open Study and Research a. The benefits of an open archives can be seen in the centenary history of the Lutheran Missionary enterprise, published as a gift to the Lutheran Churches in Papua New Guinea, under the auspices of the New Guinea Coordinating Committee of the E.L.C. PNG's overseas partners. b. An active program of translation of German documents into English has been pursued; so as to open these basic documents of missionary and ethno- graphic interest to the English-speaking elite of PNG and especially of the Lutheran Church. These translations are also progressively being microfilmed. Even so, only a small fraction of the total has thus been made available up till now and several translators could be employed on a life-time basis! c. The archives has also microfilmed all issues of the church papers in the Kate, Jabem, Gedaged and Pisin languages; spanning the contributions of indigenous Christians through most of this century. But these early literary products of the young churches are also in need of translation
