Notes

Historical Photographs of China album reference: Hv44. Dr. Samuel M. Zwemer's visit to China, part 1. First part of an album containing photographs taken by Christian missionaries Claude L. Pickens, Jr. and Carter Holton. Gai zi Mosque, near Jishi, Qinghai Sheng. Kehtsïkung, Tsinghai. Koran brought by Salars from Samarkand in 1371. Last pages of vol. II. Page on left is not of original binding. One fellow told me (Holton) it was Turkish. If so it may have something to say of early Salar history. Access to original photographs and albums in the Rev. Claude L. Pickens, Jr. Collection is restricted. Photographs and images from the collection may be reproduced only with written permission. Contact the Harvard-Yenching Library for permissions and fees.
