Description
This portrait of Santa Isabel in over 600 pictures, made first by Europeans and increasingly by its own people, shows an island transformed by its colonial history yet maintaining a confident and
distinctive identity within Solomon Islands and the Pacific Island region.
Santa Isabel is one of the largest islands that make up the island nation of Solomon Islands in the southwest Pacific. In a country divided among many Christian denominations, Isabel is distinctive
for its early acceptance of the Anglican Church, which united most of the island and its six language groups by the 1920s and then shaped its history up to the present.
