NOTE
The Moravian Mission
The Moravian Church, also known as the Church of the United
Brethren, originated in central Europe in the fifteenth
century. The Church was essentially a missionary fellowship
and the first Moravian missionaries were sent to Australia at
the invitation of authorities in New South Wales, South
Australia and Victoria in October 1849. This collection
includes the papers, correspondence, transactions, diaries,
and related material on the emigration to Australia (1832-50),
first mission at Lake Boga, Swan Hill, and its abandonment
(1849-57), beginning again in Gippsland at Ramahyuck Mission
(1858-70), correspondence associated with Lacepede Bay, Yorke
Peninsula, Lake Condah, Kopperamanna, Coranderrk, Brisbane,
Boorhooyanna (1865-89), Ebenezer and Ramahyuk Missions
(1858-1906), and North Queensland, Weipa, Aurukun and Mapoon
(1885-1916). Copied from the originals in the Archiv der
Bruder-Unitat, Herrnhut, DDR.
