description This class contains photographic material connected with the work of the UMMS and MMS in Kenya. Most images are of individuals or groups (working, worshipping, at leisure, etc), buildings (including places of worship) and the local landscape. The most frequent areas represented are Meru, Mazeras, and Ribe. 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 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.
