Charles William Hattersley (1866 - 1934) was a Church Mission Society missionary, who spent much of his career in Uganda.[1]

Hattersley published several book about his work in the early 1900s. Some of his books can be found on Wikimedia Commons or in the Internet Archive. The University of Cambridge holds several collections related to his personal life and work.[2]

Hattersley is known in particular for the hundreds of photographs he took while in Baganda in contemporary Uganda. Between 1898 and 1906 in particular, his work presents some of the more extensive photographic record available.[3]

As a British national, Hattersley's legacy as a missionary and photographer is tied up British colonialism. Several scholars use Hattersley and his work as examples of colonial ethnography, racism, and imperial control.[4][5]
