Photographic Collection - Glass Negatives

Between 1890 and 1960 the Department of Lands was responsible for the official photographic record of South Australia. Some 14,000 images survive and are available for perusal at the History Trust. Recorded within the collection are ceremonial events of every kind, the day to day progress of major public works, the growth of ports, industry, trade, townships, people at work and people at play – in short, everything that interested governments either directly or indirectly.

If you wish to view the Glass Negatives Collection, please contact Lynn Drew, Information Resources Manager on 08 8203 9873 or ldrew@history.sa.gov.au.
