This series comprises negatives and positive copies of glass plates received by SA Museum November 1987. Most photos are of everyday life at Hermannsburg, including men working, women doing neddle work, children playing. There are some posed photos including Carl And Frieda [?Strehlow] on their silver wedding anniversary. There are also landscapes including several of the Finke River in flood. Photos of Hermannsburg buildings including Aboriginal thatched huts and the church. Chronology ranges from the early twentieth century to the 1930s.

The following explanatory information only applies to this series.

All images are numbered (1-169) based on the set of lantern slides. This identifying number has been cited in the Title Qualifier entry. Many of the images in this series have been duplicated in the Albrecht collection.

Where sets of image format (eg: loose photographs, lantern slides, 35mm projector slides, or strips of copy negatives) have been identified, items have been given item inventory number alpha suffixes as follows:
a. Loose photographs,
b. Mouned photographs,
c. Lantern slides,
d. 35 mm projector slides,
e. colour negatives,
f. copy negatives.
While the Inventory item number for each format of an image remains fixed, copies in other formats may be stored separately to facilitate appropriate accommodation for each format.

Additional information in the form of annotation notes has been provided by Helene Burns.

A set of copy negatives in 36x36mm format duplicates many of these prints. As the numbers corespond they have not been seperately listed. They are controlled as item AA 662/76A.
