Description: Slides from ca 1950 to 1960 are mostly local, or of different parts of New Zealand. They include views of Wellington and the Hutt Valley, picnics, race meetings, children Fran and Jen and wife Gret, home, the garden, pets, family cars and the cars of friends, friends and the families of friends, weddings, collegues of J A Jacques at Colgate-Palmolive Limited and of his office there, a sequence of slides taken at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the Second, the Royal Tour of 1953/53, Gret and the Girls dressed up for a Royal Garden Party, ships such as the Pamir and the Wanganella, the opening of the Wellington International Airport, and views taken on holidays in many parts of the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The greatest number of slides record holidays taken outside New Zealand. These start about 1954 when the family went to Norfolk Island for a holiday. In 1955 Jacques and his family embarked on the first of the world trips. For Jacques, the first part of this seems to have been to Hawaii with work collegues or friends, then through parts of Canada and the United States on the way to London where he joined his wife and daughters for a tour of England, Scotland, Belgium, the Nethelands, and Paris, returning to New Zealand via the Panama Canal. In 1956 the youngest daughter, Jen, left for Australia, and soon afterwards Australia becomes a frequent destination for Jacques and his wife periodically throughout the sequence. By 1959 both daughters are living in Australia. Between 1956 and 1959 Jacques and his wife make two more trips to Norfolk Island In 1959 they are on board the Johan van Oldenbarnevelt out of Auckland for a Pacific cruise to Fiji, New Caledonia and Sydney. Later in 1959/60 they are on the move again in this region. This time on the Orsova to Sydney, Suva, and Tonga. In early 1961 Jacques and his wife are on a cruise of the northern Pacific which includes Sydney, Japan, Alaska, Vancover, Seattle, San Fransisco, and back to Sydney. By 1962 J A Jacques must have retired. That year he and his wife started out on a world trip that took them out of New Zealand for over a year. They left on the Himalaya for Canada via Sydney, Hong Kong, Japan and Hawaii. The hard tourist work began in Canada and from there they went to Britian, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, then back for another go at England. From England they went to Ireland, Portugal and took a cruise to Brazil and Uruguay. Then back to Lisbon and London en route for Denmark and Sweden. They returned to London in time for Christmas 1963, and in 1964 they returned home via the Suez Canal. Their third world trip took place in 1965 and included Britain, Western and Eastern Europe, Russia, Scandinavia, South Africa, the Caribbean, and Turkey. In 1966 they went to Canada and made an extensive tour of the United States. In 1968 they went on a trip that included an extensive tour of Australia and from there to Hong Kong and the Philippines. The last trip made by J A Jacques and his wife was in 1970. It included Hong Kong, Macau, China, Taiwan and Japan for the Osaka International Exhibition Source of title - Title supplied by Library Arrangement: Transparencies housed at PA12-2539 to PA12-2874 Slides taken or collected by J A Jacques Quantity: 7800 colour original transparency/ies Some Dufaycolor transparencies from the early 1950s.
