The Serampore Mission Press was a book and newspaper publisher that operated in Serampore Danish India, from 1801 to 1837.
The Press was founded by William Carey, William Ward, and other British Baptist missionaries at the Serampore Mission. It began operations on January 10, 1800. The British government, highly suspicious of missionaries, discouraged missionary work in their Indian territories.[citation needed]> However, since Serampore was under Danish rule, the missionaries and the Press were able to operate freely.
The press produced 212,000 books between 1800 and 1832. In August 1800, the Press published a Bengali translation of the Gospel according to St Matthew.The Press published religious Christian tracts, Indian literary works, translations of the Bible in twenty five Indian vernaculars and other South Asian languages.

In 1818, the Press also published the first Bengali newspaper and magazine It published books in almost forty five languages.
