Within the records of the (Wesleyan) Methodist Missionary Society is the official correspondence for Luke Scott (MMS/Ceylon/Correspondence/FBN 5-6). Two additional letters by Scott to John Kilner from 1866 are also available (MMS/Special Series/Various Papers/FBN 44). Further information on Scott's work, as well as the work of his colleagues, will be contained in the relevant Synod Minutes (MMS/Ceylon/Synod Minutes/FBN 1).
A small sketch book of Scott's was purchased by SOAS in 1981 (MS 380291).
