Series IdentifierAA1/68

This series comprises 368 nitrate negatives and 373 computer prints from the nitrate negatives of various images of Australian Aboriginal people, ceremonial scenes, missionaries and mission stations, contact and contemporary life, transport, and numerous scenic images. Some of these images may have been taken by the missionaries Ernest E Kramer (see AA 669) and Harrie E Green (see AA 113).

All of these images were originally photographed using nitrate film, which were transposed to a more stable acetate based film stock in 1980. This newer film stock, all in 110/220 format, was then digitally scanned and printed from computer to form this series. There are 331 images within this series that have not been printed at the South Australian Museum Archives prior to 2005. The other forty two images printed in this series also have photographic prints that can be found within series AA 1/3 to AA 1/67.

The prints are stored unmounted in a binder titled 'AA 1 Aborigines' Friends' Association (AFA) Catalogue of Nitrate Negatives, Album 1 of 1'.
