Graham Family Archives This collection consists of scanned glass plate images made from photographs taken by David Crockett Graham when he was a missionary in China, 1911-1948. Graham originally wrote the captions in the late 1950s. His daughter Dorothy Graham Edson annotated the captions in 1992, enclosing her text in square brackets and adding her initials, DGE. Most of the dated images are from between 1918 and 1927, but some are clearly from earlier and later. Graham was an anthropologist and natural science collector, so many of his images are of interest to ethnology and archaeology.
