Images are drawn from several collections, including Richard U. Light and Mary (Light) Meader Collection, the Harrison Forman collection, and the Edna Schaus Sorensen and Clarence W. Sorensen Collection. The negatives, and accompanying photos and photography logs, are housed at the American Geographical Society Library. Many were scanned as part of the 2010-2012 NEH Grant Project to digitize the library&#8217;s collection of nitrate negatives. The coverage of this digital collection will expand as more photos are added to the site.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1071,"featured_media":2830,"parent":0,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"class_list":["post-2829","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AGSL Digital Photo Archive - Africa - 51ÁÔÆæ Libraries Digital Collections<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/lib-collections\/ags-africa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"AGSL Digital Photo Archive - Africa\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/lib-collections\/ags-africa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"51ÁÔÆæ Libraries Digital Collections\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-03-02T19:13:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/lib-collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/620\/2023\/03\/africa-landing_sr001138-1500-400.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/ags-africa\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/ags-africa\\\/\",\"name\":\"AGSL Digital Photo Archive - Africa - 51ÁÔÆæ Libraries Digital Collections\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/ags-africa\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/ags-africa\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/620\\\/2023\\\/03\\\/africa-landing_sr001138-1500-400.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-03-29T16:43:58+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-03-02T19:13:16+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/ags-africa\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/ags-africa\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/ags-africa\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/620\\\/2023\\\/03\\\/africa-landing_sr001138-1500-400.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/620\\\/2023\\\/03\\\/africa-landing_sr001138-1500-400.jpg\",\"width\":1500,\"height\":400,\"caption\":\"Street scene with vendors, children, and shoppers on street in African city\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/ags-africa\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/lib-collections\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"AGSL Digital Photo Archive &#8211;
