| Custodial history: |
These photographs were loaned by the Methodist Church to Norman Sargant, former Bishop of Mysore, in the early 1980s for his book 'From Missions to Church in Karnataka' (1987). The photographs were returned to the Methodist Church by his widow, Mrs A Joan Sargant, in August 1994. |
| Arrangement: |
It has not proved possible to ascertain where these photographs were originally located. It is likely that some were previously amongst the India photographs, but portrait and group photographs may have been stored amongst the Home photographs. Therefore it was decided to place them here in the miscellaneous section rather then guess where each photograph may have originated. |
