Argentine Red Cross Photograph Album of Barrio Toba de Villa Chica
Scope and Contents
1961-1962. An album containing 68 gelatin silver prints (4.5” x 7”) taken by an unknown photographer.

Many of the photos depict the inauguration of the school in January 1962 and other celebrations and official events that followed in subsequent months. Includes photos of children at their desks in the new school, as well as a community meeting held there. Also depicted is the domestic architecture of the settlement including indigenous dwellings and a pentacostal chapel. Leave 5v contains a one page typed description of the inauguration of the school along with other festivities that occurred on 6 January 1962. All photographs are accompanied by a descriptive caption.
