Photographs

Scope and Content

This class contains photographic material mainly relating to the missionary work of the WMMS and MMS in Burma [Myanmar]. Material has been sorted into three files: one general photographic, a large set of stills accompanied by the text for a film and one non-photographic. The still images are from the film "Burma's Charm and Challenge" whilst the remaining images are of the missionares' evangelical, medical and educational work. There are also a few images relating to Adoniram Judson, the pioneering American Baptist missionary.

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.

Arrangement

Material has either been sorted into manageable units, according to provenance, authorship and geographical location, or kept in existing units if these are appropriate.
