The Willoughby collection is now held by the National Archives, courtesy of Neil Parsons who engineered the bequest from the descendant family in England; the Duggan–Cronin collection is held by the McGregor Museum in Kimberley and Isaac Schapera’s archival photos are in the possession of the Royal Anthropological Institute in London.
