The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Turn-of-the-century views gathered here range from Fort Santiago's stone ramparts and a ruined colonial church to nipa huts, plaza crowds, and women processing fiber in rural Philippine villages. Interleaved with troops drilling stateside, exercising on transport decks, and standing in formation, the images document both the American military passage across the Pacific and the islands they came to occupy.
