The collection comprises photographs documenting peoples of the Philippines, including Benguet, Bogobo, Igorot, Ifugao, Moro, and Negrito people and their environment. ALso included are photographs of the military presence in the Philippines. The photographs, including prints and postcards, were made or collected by Elizabeth H. and Sarah S. Metcalf during their time on the Philippine Islands and at the Louisiana Purchase (1904) and Lewis and Clark Expositions (1905). Images of Philippine peoples depict ceremonies and daily activities, including agriculture, hunting, construction of dwellings, and markets. Additional postcards and photographs in the collection were both made and collected during the Metcalf sisters' travels in Switzerland, Yemen, Algeria, Egypt, Malaysia, Japan, and Hawaii. Many of the postcards and some photographs were commercially made, but most of the photographs appear to have been made by the Metcalfs, including some photographs printed on postcard stock. The collection also includes correspondence, financial documents, artifact descriptions, lecture notes, and many newspaper clippings.
Biographical/Historical note:
Sisters Elizabeth Henshaw and Sarah Sprague Metcalf became interested in the Philippines and Bagobo peoples after attending the Philippine Reservation at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Saint Louis in 1904. They were particularly impressed by the Bagobo gong music, and developed acquaintances with several of the participants. The following year, the Metcalfs attended the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, Oregon, and again interacted with the Philippine peoples there, who were mostly Igorot. Middle-aged and unmarried, the sisters set off for Mindanao the following year. They spent several months in Zamboanga before moving to Santa Cruz where they were closer to the Bagobo people. During their stay in the Philippines (1906-1910), the Metcalfs photographed and advocated for their Bagobo friends and amassed an extensive collection of indigenous material culture. Uncertainties relating to the First World War brought the sisters back to the United States in 1910 and Elizabeth presented their ethnological research to the American Anthropological Association the following year. Around 1915, they returned to the Philippines, where they settled in Manila and sold indigenous handicrafts in their "Little Home Shop." Elizabeth and Sarah remained in Manila until their deaths in 1925 and 1939, respectively.

Lantern slides and correspondence collected and created by Lloyd G. Kirby during his time in the Philippines and related to his lecture concerning the Philippine economy. Drawing from these photographs, Kirby delivered a lecture on the Philippine economy (circa 1937), a portion of which is available in this collection. The photographs document architecture and people including Bagobo, Ifugao, Igorot, Kalinga, Moro, and Negrito peoples. Additionally, there are a number of personal slides that depict children and friends in the Philippines or the United States. The papers include financial records, correspondence, and notes concerning the Philippine economy and the creation and duplication of the photographs.
Biographical/Historical note:
Born in Illinois in 1880, Lloyd G. Kirby was an educator for the Philippine Civil Service for about 15 years. He joined the civil service in June 1905 and settled in Suguegardo, where he worked as a teacher and then Superintendent of Schools for Cagayan and Isabela provinces (circa 1913-1919). Kirby returned to the United States in 1919 or sometime thereafter, and he settled in Michigan, where he married May M. Person in the 1920s.

Biographical/Historical note:
The Philippine Bureau of Science, originally called the Bureau of Government Laboratories, was established to promote Philippine commercial and industrial resources and disseminate scientific and technical information. The Division of Ethnology, originally the Bureau of Non-Christian Tribes, was transferred to the Bureau of Science in 1906, expanding its mission to include the islands' peoples. Charles Martin was an official photographer with the Bureau of Science from around 1901-1915, after which he became a staff photographer with the National Geographic Magazine until 1940.
