Images of the New Hebrides

A number of early twentieth-century photographs of the New Hebrides have recently been uncovered as part of the work of the archive. The images, taken by the noted Scottish missionary Dr. William Gunn, date from 1911 and depict the spectrum of missionary activity and native life in the area. Subjects range from representations of missionary-built churches to everyday scenes such as spearing fish and weighing copra. The photographs are a unique record of Scottish mission in this beautiful part of the world.

All of the photographs can be viewed at the St Colm's College archive or at the following address: http://www.flickr.com/photos/scwearchive
