Scope and Content of Collection
The collection primarily contains 1914-1916 date books (diaries), a 1914-1917 transit book, photos (prints and negatives),
picture postcards, and a few documents and letters of Will L. Brown, San Bernardino, California, who for much of that time
was a miner/prospector/trader in the Kasai region of the Belgian Congo. The date books generally talk about drilling operations,
day-to-day life, and relations with other Congolese and Europeans in the area. Also included are typed transcripts for the
date books and a few unrelated items such as framed Western Americana. The connection between Margaret Mallory and Will L.
Brown is unknown.
Margaret Mallory also gave Kasai region artifacts to UCSB, as well as books and manuscripts, many art related, to the UCSB
University Libraries.
