From: Kennedy, William Alexander, 1865-1950 :Photographs of the Southern Alps area

Reference: PAColl-0959-10

Description: Snapshots of mountaineering, camping, and several unidentified mountain huts in the Southern Alps taken by unidentified photographers. The groups are probably members of the Canterbury Mountaineering Club and/or the New Zealand Alpine Club. Many of the scenes show men transporting building equipment (some with the use of vehicles and horses), then carried by the men across stoney river beds, fording rivers, climbing with planks on their backs, then showing the various stages of construction. One hut has a rounded roof-line; others made of corrugated iron and wood are situated at different sites, including one up a bare mountain-side, and one with trees behind, and another with a river in front. The collection includes several interior views of huts (nos. 130-134), and close-up pictures of the men. Names pencilled on the back of some of the photographs include F. Hulston, D.V. Apperley, W. Newton, G. Chisholm, M. Barford, John Sampson, J. Moore and R. Drake. Image no. 175 shows the tombstone of Minnie Cochran with the inscription "In memory of Minnie Cochran, d 27th Oct. 1879 and Baby" which was found "nestling under the hawthorn fence by the cattle yards at Mt White".
