Laman, Selma :: missionär

Object description: Selma Karolina Laman, född Karlsson den 29 juli 1862 i Östra Hargs socken, död 8 augusti 1936 i Stjärnorps församling, var en svensk missionär. Hon tillhörde den första generationen av kvinnliga missionärer som verkade på Svenska missionsförbundets (SMF) missionsfält i nuvarande provinsen Kongo-Central (tidigare Bas Congo/Nedre Kongo) i dåvarande Fristaten Kongo. Från 1908 blev namnet på landet Belgiska Kongo, numera heter det Kongo-Kinshasa/DRC. Selma Laman arbetade där under sammanlagt fem arbetsperioder mellan 1891 och 1919. Förutom de gängse arbetsuppgifterna för kvinnliga missionärer, såsom sjukvård och undervisning, deltog hon aktivt i sin make Karl Lamans språkvetenskapliga och etnologiska forskning.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
