From: Turbott, Harold Bertram, 1899-1988 : Papers

Reference: PAColl-10760

Description: Photographs taken by an unidentified photographer, possibly between 1927 and 1938. Consists of 45 photographic prints containing 51 images, associated with H B Turbott's career as a Medical Officer of Health. These include eight small prints possibly cut from a proof sheet, and 37 quarter plate prints, 10 of which are pasted on paper with typescript captions. The photographs, taken in rural areas, show housing conditions in Māori communities. Many homes are small and in poor condition. PAColl-10760-36 shows images of houses without windows constructed from wood and corrugated iron. Annotations on the reverse of PAColl-10760-34 identify two tuberculosis hut images as taken on the East Coast. Other locations are not known and people are unidentified. Two pieces of photographic ephemera, envelopes, are also included. One envelope is addressed to "Dr. H B Turbott, Health Dept [Department], Hamilton", and originally contained two prints depicting tuberculosis huts. A postmark dates the envelope to 1938. The second envelope is stamped "Department of Health New Zealand". Pencil annotations read "Lambert's photos". This could be a reference to Dr Sylvester Maxwell Lambert who produced a report on Māori health in 1938. Title supplied by Library.
