| Summary: |
This class contains photographic material connected with the work of the MMS (as well as its predecessor organisations) in Africa as a whole. Material included here generally cannot be identified with one specific country or relates to a number of countries in Africa. Files 1 & 2 contain portraits of missionaries church members and other indigenous people; File 3 contains a set of postcards illustrating the life of David Livingstone; File 4 contains an album of images of Kenya and Rhodesia [ Zimbabwe and Zambia] by Rev George Ayre and File 5 contains miscellaneous items covering Africa as a whole, some identified and others uncaptioned.
Where possible, place names have been identified by a contemporary standard form (generally taken from the 1933 Annual Report) and also by a current modern standard form (generally taken from the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names) where this has been identified as different.
