  13. Approximately 150 negatives and two photographic prints, apparently taken by Cooper. There is very little documentation accompanying this material.The negatives and photographs were in groups, which have been retained and numbered, and some had paper sleeves, which have also been retained. It is not clear whether these groups reflected the original order of the material. Most of the images are of landscape and sites, a small number include people. Identifiable locations are Melrose Post Office and Hallett Cove Railway Station. Group 4 includes a photographic print identified on reverse as 'Camp Site Melrose' and Group 12 includes an unidentified photographic print. Group 4 includes a note: 'Native Red Ochre Mine Mt Haywood 1936 H. M. Cooper' [probably Mount Hayward]. Group 11 includes negatives depicting a boat (possibly Cooper's). Formerly Acc. No. 20. Related material can be found in the Burrows Collection (see AA 45/2).
