Images
of Colonial Africa (http://www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/exhibits/collins/colins15.htm)
These photographs were “taken or gathered by missionary Laura Collins.
The images displayed here are one woman's view, mostly of Kenya, at the beginning
of the twentieth century, probably before 1914. They depict the country's society,
customs, economics, and geography, as well as its growing Christian church, the
missionary community assisting in that endeavor, and Collins herself.”
