{"value"=>"<p>About a third of the pictures in Series 8 (Boxes 67-70) are snapshots taken in China by and of Russell between 1917 and 1936. The pictures, in albums and filed loosely in envelopes, mostly depict Russell and her friends and co-workers at the YWCAs where they worked and on holidays in various parts of China, and formal group portraits of YWCA staffs posing in front of their buildings. There are also pictures of Russell and her friends in other countries, including Japan, the Philippines, and India, taken during vacations and furloughs. Box 71 mostly contains pictures of Russell's friends from college days, pictures of Mary Bentley, and a number of pictures of Russell's China YWCA colleague Anne G. Seescholtz.</p> <p>Later pictures include Russell's snapshots from her visits to China in 1959, 1972, and 1978 (Boxes 72-73); CDFEP photos, and friends in the U. S. and China (Box 74). Box 75 includes formal portraits of Russell's parents, her childhood home in Hayward, and pictures of her nieces and nephew as children, as well as more recent snapshots of them and their families.</p> <p>The photographs in Boxes 76 and 77 are of China in the late 1940s and early 1950s, possibly originally acquired by the CDFEP. They depict such subjects as the People's Liberation Army, the celebratory parades of 1950 in Peking commemorating the first anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and developing industries in a number of cities.</p>"}
