content: This series contains a great deal of field photographs that Gibson took of the Herero, Himba, and Gciriku. Many are duplicates printed in various sizes or were printing trials. In addition to Gibson's field photos, the collection also contains photos taken in Africa by others. Among these are Herbert Friedmann's photos of Kenya;  photos by Ralph Kepler Lewis during the Morden Africa Expedition in Kenya; and photos by Lawrence Marshall, Volkmar Wentzel, and Carlos Estermann. There are also photos of the exhibit cases from the Hall of African Cultures; photographs of African caps, weapons and other Smithsonian and non-Smithsonian African artifacts; and copies of photographs he obtained from different archives, including the National Anthropological Archives. A box of unprocessed negatives can found at the end of the series.

More photographs can be found throughout the collection. See Series 2. Southwestern Africa Research for notes on his photos.
