| description |
This class contains photographic material connected with the work of the MMS (as well as its predecessor organisations) in West Africa. It is divided into six sub-sections. The first section contains material relating to Sierra Leone; the second sub-section contains material relating to the Gambia; the third contains material relating to the Gold Coast [Ghana]; the fourth to Western Nigeria; the fifth to French West Africa, comprising Dahomey [Benin], Porto-Novo, Dabou and the Ivory Coast; the sixth to Eastern Nigeria; and the seventh to Fernando Po [Bioko, Equatorial Guinea]. Significant collections of photographs have been received from Rev William Turnbull Balmer; Rev William H Maude and Rev James T Walton.
Where possible, place names are 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.

| scb_arrangement |
Sub-sections arranged by geographical location. Within sub-sections material has either been sorted into manageable units or kept in existing units if these are appropriate, based on authorship, provenance, location or subject coverage. The files have been arranged chronologically as far as is possible, although individual files can cover large date ranges.
