sociologist and renowned China scholar. He visited China
several times in the early 20th century to collect data for
social-economic surveys and photographed Chinese urban and
rural life, public events, architecture, religious statuary,
etc. After his death, Gamble's photos were donated to Duke
University by his daughter. This digital collection has
more than 5,000 photos, primarily of China, taken between
1908 and 1932.
