The Gambia, seen through time.
Streets, river landings, harvests and places people still know. These are sourced images, not a complete account of the people in them. Bring your memory to the picture.
Take your time.
Photographs to look into
Every image here has a named source and a reuse statement. A modern view is marked as modern; the river chart is not a photograph.

A moment worth keeping.
These photographs were shared by community members with permission. Some names, occasions and dates are still being gathered, so they sit apart from the sourced historical shelf above.
Dates and identities are not yet confirmed. A file's sharing date is not the date a photograph was taken. Tell us what you know privately; a reviewer checks every caption.
