Abstract
It was the early 1980s in Algeria. There had been Protestant mission work in the country for a century. The Christian church was growing and missionaries were being asked to leave. One former member of the small Algiers Mission Band had just had her residence permit renewed for a further two years and so was able to stay longer when others had to go. She saw this as a God-given opportunity to ensure that vital documents got safely back to the UK so that the history of this remarkable group of missionaries, mainly women, should be preserved. To her we owe the preservation of the largely complete archive of the Algiers Mission Band (AMB), the mission society led by Lilias Trotter, which was transferred bit by bit from a flat in central Algiers to the home office in the UK.
