KOTA KINABALU: Dr Lim Pitt Kent’s collection of old photographs of north Borneo has now been compiled into a book titled North Borneo: A Collective History.

It contains the physician’s collection of black-and-white photos, many of them never published before, and those amassed by other history buffs.“Old photographs are usually small in size. We managed to get some of the original negatives that were put on sale in eBay so that we could have them enlarged,” said Dr Lim, who is with a medical centre here.
