Talk:Vedanayagam Samuel Azariah

Picture and more work needed

I added a saints infobox, and organized the article on traditional lines, but much work needs to be done, which I don't have time nor resources to do. In particular, it needs a picture. Since Rev. Azariah not only lived, but was active before 1923, some free images might be available. In particular, I noticed a website had a photo of the founders of the missionary society well before that cutoff. However, Azariah's published works all date from after 1923, and so images therein are not free of copyright in the U.S.Jweaver28 (talk) 13:59, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

I managed to briefly glance at the Billington book yesterday, and noticed most of the pre-1923 photos that it contains seem to be from the family's collection, to which of course I have no access -- plus they may well never have been published before that 2000 book. A quick search of the Library of Congress' collections also found nada. However, one group photo in that book cites a Yale University collection (the Divinity School sent many missionaries to Asia), but again, I don't have access, though I write here in the hopes that someone else can take a picture and upload it onto wikimedia commons.Jweaver28 (talk) 19:29, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
