Myanmar Photo Archive
By 1886, the British East India Company had expanded to include most of Burma, annexing it to India. Burma later became a separate colony in 1937 until 1942, when it fell under Japanese occupation. This 60 year period saw the opening of many photographic studios throughout major cities and formed the start of local photographic culture by professionals as well as in private homes.
