Pre-war images of Sierra Leone taken between 1987 and 1990. See what the country looked like when I lived there. Categories include snapshots, panoramas, currency, and product labels. Images in each set are sorted and connected to each other in file name order. Some sets also come with a JavaScript page that will load and project the images automatically like a slide show. Be warned, however. Not every Internet connection is fast enough to load the images in the time allotted by the script (5 seconds).
You can view these images one at a time by clicking on the appropriate thumbnail or view all of them in sequence using the JavaScript Slide Show.

Some of the coins and bills that were in circulation from 1997 to 1990. Several other bills were in circulation at that time, but none of the ones I have were in good enough condition to scan. An inflation rate around 100% per year rendered all but the One Leone Momoh coin worthless by 1990 and necessitated the introduction of the Fifty Leone note soon thereafter.

These images were scanned at a resolution higher than that of any computer monitor. This gives them a wonderful crispness when printed at 300 dpi, but makes them look huge at screen resolutions.
