Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “Africa; West Africa”, but Northcote Thomas worked in Nigeria, Gambia, Sierra Leone, and also Australia. The Museum primarily has Thomas’ photographs from Nigeria and Sierra Leone, and this has been provisionally added to the Place field. [JD 28/7/2009]

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “W Africa; ?Nigeria; ?Sierra Leone”, but Paul Basu has been able to positively identify the Sierra Leone numbers from Thomas’s own records as being 5176 to 6251 inclusive. The Place and Date fields have been amended accordingly. [Paul Basu, Leverhulme Research Fellow, 2014-15 - 'Reassembling N.W. Thomas's Anthropological Mission to Sierra Leone, 1914-15'. JD 22/08/2013]
