A Request from the President: photo repatriation

If you don’t know where you came from, how can you know where you are going? - Sando Moore, Liberian photojournalist

Much of Liberia’s photographic record of its peaceful past has been destroyed by war. The National Museum sits mostly empty - and closed. On a suggestion from President Sirleaf, we are collecting images of pre-war Liberia, in the hopes of returning them to the National Museum in Monrovia, to help in the country’s rebuilding process. If you have photos that you think would be suitable for this project, or would like to contribute, we’d love to hear from you. Send photos to liberia77@gmail.com or contact at liberia77
