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. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Fort_Kormantin#/media/File:Fort_Amsterdam,_schietgat_bastion_-_20652263_-_RCE.jpg 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.
