With the generous financial assistance of the Paris Foreign Mission Society (MEP), our Institute has been able to establish a good Archives Section. Besides a valuable collection of original documents dating from the 18th century, we have also the microfilms of the records (more than 30,000 pages) preserved in the MEP Archives, Paris. Our Archives Department is equipped with a Microfilm Scanner / Reader/ Printer together with a good computer data -base on the MEP Missions in Pondicherry – Bangalore Ecclesiastical Provinces.
