| This digital exhibition features photographs taken by Father Augustine Schwarz (18871946) during the quarter century he served as a Catholic missionary to American Indians in Arizona. The photographs portray missionaries and mission scenes, churches, chapels and other mission buildings, and Pima, Papago, and Apache Indians. Curatorial text supports the images. St. John's Mission in the Gila River Indian Community village of Komatke received the most extensive photographic coverage. That section includes information on teachers, students, curriculum, the St. John's Mission Band, and daily life at the mission. |

The entire collection consists of 179 images. |
