Content and context

A collection of prints and negatives of photographs. These fall into five groups; aerial views taken in January 1931, later views of Achimota including some taken from the tower, scenes following the Accra earthquake of 23 June 1939, the visit of the Asantehene in 1946 and portraits of Fraser and Aggrey. Contact prints have been made of negatives for which there was no print in the collection as presented. The notes on the photographs are chiefly derived from correspondence with Mr Joselin, but use has also been made of the Achimota Annual Reports for 1931 and 1932 in which some of these photographs were reproduced. Most of the photographs were taken by Frank E. Joselin while on the staff of Achimota College between January 1930 and November 1947.

Presented by Mr Joselin in April 1982.
