| description |
This class contains photographic material connected with the work of the the MMS (as well as its predecessor organisations) in the West Indies [Caribbean and Americas]. It is divided into nine sub-sections. The first section contains material which has not been assigned to a particular sub-section either because it covers more than one sub-section, or there is insufficient information to assign it to a particular sub-section; the second sub-section contains material relating to the Bahamas; the third contains material relating to Jamaica; the fourth to Honduras; the fifth to Haiti; the sixth to Central America; the seventh to the Leeward Islands; the eighth to Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago; and the ninth to British Guiana [Guyana].
The items show individuals, groups, buildings, and local scenes, featuring missionaries, local Christians, hospitals, schools, etc. Particularly well represented are photographs by the Rev William Baillie (1864 - 1948), and Frank Deaville Walker (1878 - 1945), editor of The Foreign Field and The Kingdom Overseas, who visited the West Indies in 1930.
Where possible, each place name is identified by a contemporary standard form (generally taken from the Society's Annual Reports) and also by a current modern standard form (generally taken from the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names) where this has been identified as different. The modern standard for British Guiana is Guyana.

| scb_arrangement |
Sub-sections mainly arranged by geographical location. Within sub-sections material has either been sorted into manageable units, either on the basis of provenance, author or geographical location of the subject matter, or kept in existing units if these are appropriate. Sets have been reunited, where identifiable.
