Additional photos from Swedish missionairies; Historical maps of Ukraine
ByAdditional photos from Swedish missionairies
In February The National Museums of World Culture continued uploading newly digitized photographs taken by Swedish missionaries in China. We are now close to the end of the Xinjiang part of this collection. Swedish missionaries were forced out of Xinjiang at the end of the 1930s and they moved their mission to India. This is reflected in the newly digitized material as the collection contains several photos from India. Another part of the Swedish missionaries collection includes photos from Lower Congo. As a result of this, some of the newly written Wikipedia articles this month have focused on various subgroups of the Kongo people. Apart from those we have also written articles on Wilfred Barbrooke Grubb, Ticuna and David Theodor Andersson.
