Duggan-Cronin (1874-1954)arrived in South Africa in 1897 to take up a position with De Beers Consolidated Mines in Kimbereley, where he worked for many years while his interest in black South Africans and their coustoms evolved. On his return from service in the First World War, he was retained by the McGregor Museum in Kimberley to photograph the Bushmen (San) people in Griqualand West. During the next 25 years, with the assistance of government subsidies and grants from the Carnegie Fund, he took approximately 6 000 photographs documenting most of the groups of black people in southern Africa. These images, along with many artefacts, are now housed in the Duggan-Cronin Gallery which is part of the McGregor Museum.
