Summary: |
This series contains photographic material and other visual materials connected with the work of the MMS and its precursers. Visual material has been arranged by mission
region. The series consists of over 2,000 photographs, depicting all of the main overseas mission fields: Africa, the West Indies, China, India and Ceylon. The majority of the photographs were created rather than collected by the missionaries in the field themselves. Many of the photographs are captioned on the reverse with information. Photographs prior to 1932 are overwhelmingly Wesleyan in origin and a significant number of these (and some later) photographs were reproduced in Methodist publications such as The Foreign Field. |
