Margaret Masson Hasluck Collection

Margaret Masson Hasluck (1885-1948) began her ethnographic fieldwork in the Balkans in 1921 following the death of her husband, the archaeologist Frederick William Hasluck, the previous year. They shared an interest in Balkan culture, had married in 1912 and had travelled extensively in the area prior to the First World War. She based herself in Albania from 1923 until the eve of the Second World War and made notable contributions to Albanian ethnographic research.

They show views of landscapes, towns and villages as well as portraits of local people and activities. The digitisation of this selection was made possible by the EU's EuropeanaTravel project.
