Photographic negatives - Three Australian Aboriginal women at Archer River, North Queensland

Archive Collections / Prof. Frank John Fenner / Series AA91/1 / Photographic negatives - Three Australian Aboriginal women at Archer River, North Queensland

Two acetate negatives depicting three Australian Aboriginal women in ceremonial attire. Annotations on the negatives indicate the photograph was taken at Archer River, North Queensland, and that the women are in mourning. One of the negatives is annotated with 'mourning gestures'. Further annotations indicate the negatives are copies made from photographic prints in February, 1951, after the original negatives were found to be lost. The photographs were taken by Ursula McConnel, who conducted fieldwork in western Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Copies of these photographs are included in the South Australian Museum Ursula McConnel collection (AA 191).
