Summary: This class contains photographic material connected with the work of the PMMS and MMS in Central Africa (mainly Rhodesia [Zimbabwe and Zambia]). Files are organised into five sub-sections: the first for Central Africa; the second for Southern Rhodesia [Zimbabwe] with two further sub-sections for Mashonaland and Matabeleland, both also Southern Rhodesia [Zimbabwe]; and the fifth for Northern Rhodesia [Zambia]. However, please be aware that the odd mission in Rhodesia (particularly Northern Rhodesia) are not now in Zimbabwe or Zambia but are in neighbouring countries. Where possible, placenames 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.
