Correspondence, 1914-1933, and photographic album, c. 1910s-1920s, of Jemima Barr (b. circa 1888, Kinleith, Currie) largely from Salisbury, now Harare, and other locations in Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia, to her friend Margaret Proudfoot Greig.

Jemima Barr, also known as Jimmie, emigrated to Zimbabwe around 1913 to work as a teacher in Salisbury High School. She married Andrew Carroll, probably a farmer or businessman, on 18 December 1917 in Scots Church in Salisbury.

The correspondence largely refers to domestic life and work, but it also provides an insightful account of the colonial establishment, social attitudes and perceptions. Some small loose photographs have been found amongst the letters. They have been placed in separate folders with a reference to the letter to which they are linked.
