These 8 series were the only slides listed on EH's original list, and cover images of African life from the 1950s-1980s. Only the most recent are labelled, and there is scope for considerably more research into the subjects of the unlabelled ones. 5 out of the 8 series can be linked to books or research projects carried out by EH, including her 1958 research into the Arab influence on the East African coast, her 1959 research on Kenyan agricultural developments for "A New Earth", her 1960 work for the Monckton Commission in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi and her 1981 collaboration with photographer Hugo van Lawick on the wildlife book "Last Days in Eden." The remaining 3 series are more miscellaneous in nature, covering a wide timeframe, but all include predominantly shots of the East African landscape and wild animals.
