Photographic postcards of individuals and groups in the Philippines

A group of 29 photographic postcards and snapshots of people and activities in the Philippines prior to World War II. There are also images of indigenous Igorot peoples at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909 in Seattle, Washington, and a few photographs of Filipinos in San Francisco, including a group at the Filipino Community Methodist Church. Photographs in the Philippines include studio portraits (some with inscriptions in Tagalog), family groups, children, sports teams, and cock fighting. One 1945 image shows an overview of the Santo Tomas internment camp where Japanese authorities interned civilians during WWII. Some postcards have correspondence in English and were mailed to the United States.
