Titles and descriptions in 'x' marks have been quoted directly from the reverse of original photographs. A few SAMA 1155/2 60x90mm negatives (DO I MEAN COPY NEGS OR DIGITISED COPIES??) have been printed and included in this series of prints, their control number has been marked "a", if there is a copy negative the control number has been marked "f" Where a photograph has been noted in the diary (SAMA 115/3) this is noted in the title qualifier box, and an annotation is made in the diary inventory description.

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
d. 35mm slide transparancies
f. copy negatives

The SLSA collection 465/51/46 appears to include photographs which duplicate those in collections AA 591 (color transparancies) and SAMA 1155 (1944 journal and B&W photographs).
