Hi everyone!
(apologies for cross posting!)
We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at
KPU:
Lorrain's Logbook: Notes from a Missionary in Mizoram, Northeast India (1891-1936)
Edited by Kyle Jackson; Natasha McConnell; and Nick Gill
Lorrain’s Logbook: Notes from a Missionary in Mizoram, Northeast India (1891-1936) expands
the archive for students of Northeast India. Authored by James Herbert Lorrain (Pu
Buanga)—one of the most significant missionaries and linguists to operate in the colonial
Indo-Burma borderlands—the Logbook is a record of personal observations across decades,
from Lorrain’s arrival in Bengal in 1890 to his departure in 1932 from the Lushai Hills
District (today: Mizoram). This entirely new digital transcription and text-searchable
online educational resource (OER) unlocks a vital archival source for researchers of
imperial frontiers, Asian borderlands, missionization, Mizo history, and beyond. It
features an introduction co-authored by Dr. Kyle Jackson (Kwantlen Polytechnic University)
and Prof. Joy L. K. Pachuau (Jawaharlal Nehru University).
