When I first
worked in setting up the Woodstock School Archives in 1997, I did some
background reading on cultural, educational, and religious forces which informed
founding of the School and its early success.
Below is a list of the works I consulted at that time. There are certainly
many other works about the history of Landaur and Mussoorie and the history of missionary
education in India. I welcome any
suggestions about works specifically relevant to Woodstock School.
