| Summary: |
Photographs taken by Olive Osborn (with some by her colleague Ruth Musson) and used for talks (and display) by Osborn to illustrate her missionary education work in Nigeria. Most of the photographs date from the early 1950s. Most photographs have captions on rear with many very detailed (including occasionally identifying individual students). Some images are copies of those in other folders (albeit sometimes enlarged).
