This collection consists of the papers and image collections of Ira E. Gillet. The papers consist of correspondence, which includes the newsletter Ira and his wife Edith sent from 1918 to 1959 on their missionary activities. The collection also includes newsletters Gillet received from other missionaries. In addition to biographical information on Gillet, there are biographical sketches written by Gillet and other on missionaries Ruth E. Northcott, B. F. Ousley, Mary and Julian Rea, and Erwin H. Richards. The collection also contains miscellaneous publications and material used by missionaries in southern Africa, Southeast Africa Conference reports, minutes and other material, and Missionary Committee minutes. Gillet collected postcards documenting his travels in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the United States. Artifacts from Gillet's time in Africa include a leopard skin, a bow, clay sculptured busts, and other small miscellaneous items. A major component of the collection is Gillet's collection of photographic images taken from the early 1900s through the 1960s. The image collection included prints, film negatives, glass negatives, glass lantern slides, and film slides including almost 400 stereo film slides. Many of the images document the activities of the Methodist Church in south Africa. The bulk of the Africa images were taken in Mozambique but there are also images documenting life and missionary activities in Angola, Belgian Congo, Rhodesia and South Africa. The images document places, cultures, people, worship and social functions, plants, and animals as well as vacations, family, and friends in Europe, Asia and the United States. A detailed listing of all of the individual slides and negatives is available in the repository. The listing excludes prints and the rolls and strips of negatives that could not be sleeved or numbered individually.
