So I went to the Ghana Wikiproject today and noticed a message.1

tl;dr: The Wikimedia Netherlands has donated some 2,000 historic images, going back as far as almost a century related to Africa, South America and Southeast Asia.2

Specifically to Ghana, I doubt those images (very old) could be found anywhere, such as this 1953 image of Fort Amsterdam.3

I am impressed and really thankful for such a generous donation to Wikimedia Commons relating to Ghana's history.

Now I guess it's about time we put those images to use!

I hope more are shared as and when they become available. Kudos, WMNL.

Checkout the category to find images about your country too. I've seen Guinea Bissau in there somewhere.
