Hi, I'm an admin for a group called INDUSTRIA AZUCARERA DE PUERTO RICO - 1898 TO PRESENT (CENTRAL, T, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

I don't like you José you go around amazing imagery for profit purposes. Is sort sad you will come out witch such a prestige name and have that twisted by standards. You are not a nationalized entity so you are falsely representing. I don’t really care who you are but at least form a nonprofit and use the imagery accordingly for conservation and historic purposes.

Who are you directing your comments. To the Library of Congress member of Flickr or to the two brothers, Jose, of the Archivo Historico y Fotografico de P.R.. We do not represent the LOC or have any connection to any other entity. We are posting our personal collection where every item is an original in our collection. Many thousands of more images to be posted. See our website www.archivofotograficodepuertorico.com for more information about us and the Rodriguez Archives Collection.

stunning landscape. I really love the curved edges and scratches also.

The Hope Valley Mission, at Hope Valley, was run by Lutheran Church Missionaries. Previously known as the Cape Bedford Mission, it was established around 1896 and closed in May 1942 when the site was taken over by the Australian Army and its residents were removed to Woorabinda, near Rockhampton. It reopened as the Hope Vale Mission in around 1950. The Hope Valley Mission was established when the administrative centre for the Mission at Elim moved to Hope Valley. Before the second world war, the Mission consisted of a number of hamlets or settlements at Springhill, Bridge Creek, and Elim with the administrative centre located at Hope Valley. Hope Valley was known as 'the school station'. This was where the Superintendent's house, the church, the school and the dormitories were situated. All of the Mission children of school age were sent to live in the dormitories at Hope Valley as this was where the Mission school was situated. The Hope Valley dormitories were also used to house orphans or children whose parents were not living on the Mission. The Mission's policy in 1939 was that it was better that Mission children were institutionalised rather than be with their parents. In 1941, 131 children were registered as inmates of the institution. In May 1942, residents of Hope Valley Mission were removed to the Woorabinda Aboriginal Reserve, over 1,000 kilometres south. The Mission site was subsequently taken over by the Australian Army, the Royal Australian Air Force, United States Army and the Civil Construction Corps. The mission reopened in around 1950, with the new name of Hope Vale. Source: www.findandconnect.gov.au/ref/qld/biogs/QE00828b.htm
