Naga Database

[Bob A]

Having only recently learned of the existence of the Naga people, I found myself fascinated by the works by and about Ursula Graham Bower and others, who lived among these people before they altered their traditional lifestyles.

I've stumbled upon a database which holds a treasure trove of information, among which is a collection of nearly 1500 photographs taken by Ms Bower from 1938-1947.

While it's more than likely that this is old news to many here, on the off chance that others might find it of interest, I provide this link:

Those of you familiar with bower's books will recognise a small fraction of the photos available therein.
