By: Hogg, William Fergusson, 1883-1974

Reference: PAColl-5684

Description: Negatives and photographs relate to a relatively short period, probably 1914-1916. Most of them (all the half plate negatives and the prints) are family photographs, or were taken during military training in New Zealand. Though some of the family photographs may be earlier, most seem to date from after the outbreak of war as there are a number of formal groups which include men in uniform. Military training relates to Trentham and Featherston military training camps with views of men marching over the Rimutaka Road, and one of Fell engines and train on the Rimutaka incline. There is one negative of troops at Trentham station, and others of soldiers lined up beside trains and railway tracks. Life in camp, training, and formal group photographs of soldiers make up the rest of this part of the collection. All of the quarter plate negatives were taken on the trip from New Zealand to the war in Europe. They show that on the way, this batch of troops had time on leave at Perth, Western Australia, and Durban, South Africa. Among other images there are a number of negatives of soldiers posed among the columns and sculptures of the memorial to Cecil Rhodes at Durban. Arrangement: Negatives housed at 1/4-081263 to 081307; 1/2-180178 to 180242 Willam Fergusson Hogg was born at Bulls in 1883. He worked in commerce (Who's Who) for seven years before beginning to study law in 1909.

The Kelburn address may be that of the house shown in those negatives depicting family groups. He was a Captain in the 1 NZEF from 1915 to 1919 during the first world war. After the war he continued in the legal profession becoming a partner in the firm Chapman, Tripp and Co in 1927.

From: Wassiliewa, Galina (estate) :Photographs relating to life and ballet career of Galina Wassiliewa in Lithuania and Wellington.

Reference: PA1-f-216

Description: The photographs relate to the lives of Galina and Wassili Wassiliew, though most relate to Galina. There are many Ranten family photographs, most from the mid 1920s to ca 1940, but a few dating from the early 20th century and possibly the late 19th century. Throughout these Galina can be traced from a baby to a teenaged girl. Most of these are probably those photographs missing from the earlier family albums. There are a few photographs showing the students and teachers of the Lithuanian State Ballet School, 1939 and 1940, which Galina entered in about 1933 when she was eight. Other ballet photographs are of productions in Lithuania and Germany. A number show Galina when she was in Germany and Austria during the 1940s. Some of these show her with friends or collegues in European cities or outside theatres. The balance of the photographs show Galina, her mother and Wassili after their move to New Zealand. Most of these are of their domestic lives. There are few photographs of her New Zealand students or ballet productions. Lithuania, and especially the capital city, Kaunas, feature in a number of coloured postcards. Others show theatres, probably in Germany or Austria. There is also one hand drawn and coloured anti-semetic postcard with postmarks dated 1926 Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
