- Scope and Contents
- This photograph was taken by Dr. Simon Ottenberg while conducting field research at Afikpo village-group, southeastern Nigeria, from September 1959 to December 1960.
- Original caption reads, "Owerri Union Improvement Hall. This is where Igbos from the Owerri area of Igboland meet for wedding and funeral events, to collect funds for scholarships and other improvements for their own areas. Many other ethnic improvement unions exist in Abakaliki Town, though few are wealthy enough to have their own hall. Many meet at the home of a senior or prominent member." [Ottenberg field research notes, September 1959-December 1960, Part II].
