Singapore Leprosy Relief Association Annual Report (SILRA)
There are 181 photographs found from the use of "leprosy" as a key word search and 65 photographs found from a "leper" key word search. These photographs are in the process of being digitised. Those that result from the use of "leper" as a keyword date from 1948 up until 1953 and include photographs of the Trafalgar Home for Lepers. The photographs that result from the use of "leprosy" as a key word show dignitaries such as the Health Minister at events associated with leprosy work such as the Leprosy Mission International Conference at Relc (1976), commemorations of World Leprosy Day, or an anti-leprosy exhibition. They cover the 60s-80s. Two undated photos shown the Singapore Leprosy Relief Association at Yio Chu Kang.
