    Notes

    The National Anthropological Archives in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, hold a number of leprosy-related photographs.

    There is a black and white cyanotype print, taken by Henry Fassett Clifford of a "View of North Shore of Molokai Island Showing Location Of Kalaupapa Leper Colony", 1902, and an undated hand-coloured photoprint "View from Water of Culion Leper Colony Showing Masonry and Frame Buildings".

    As part of the Division of Physical Anthropology Photograph Collection, there are two photographs (1872) and (1914) taken in China and Burma Pegu/Lower Burma Rangoon.

    In addition, as part of the photographic collection, there are two black and white photoprints of a "View of Leper Hospital at Foot of Mountain" 1891 and 1892, taken at La Silla de Caracas, Miranda, Venezuela, by RM Bartleman, and one by Felix Bonfils of 'Site of House of Leper Naaman at Damascus' (undated).
