The Hedda Morrison Photographs of China, 1933-1946

The Harvard-Yenching Library holds some 5,000 photographs and 10,000 negatives taken by Hedda Hammer Morrison (1908-1991) while resident in Beijing from 1933 to 1946. The photographs, mounted in thematic albums prepared by Mrs. Morrison, and the negatives, were bequeathed to the Harvard-Yenching Library, "the best permanent home for her vision of a city and people that she loved [Alastair Morrison]."

Unfortunately, this site uses a search engine that is searching a number of Harvard libraries and is so powerful that it becomes a case of not being able to ask the question unless you already know a good part of the answer. Read the VIA Search Strategies. The section on searching by Site Types was most helpful for me. It's worth the effort.
