In the late 1930s, Thomas Farrar Whitley served a mission in Tonga and took numerous photographs of the surroundings and of the people. Some of these photographs were developed by Whitley, and many of the other negatives were later developed by his son and daughter-in-law. People in these photographs were identified as completely as possible. These photographs are a valuable resource on the history of the Church and the culture of Tonga on these islands in the 1930s.
