- Date
- [1839-1980]
- Reference
- ATL-Group-00208
- Description
Comprises sets of original photographic prints and photographic postcards relating to the Dewey classification 993 New Zealand (history and geography). Images depict New Zealand landscapes, places, and people.
Prior to 2017 19 boxes of original photographs and postcards from the File Prints Collection were processed as separate collections. All the records for the boxes are titled "Original photographic prints and postcards from file print collection Box 1" to "Original photographic prints and postcards from file print collection Box 19".
Arrangement: The File Print Collection was arranged according to the Dewey Decimal System classification. Items in this collection maintain that arrangement.
Turnbull Library Pictures was a unit within the Alexander Turnbull Library. The staff collected and provided access to photographic copies of original pictorial works held within the Library collections, and to a lesser extent, photographs held by other institutions. These copy prints were known as the 'File Prints Collection'. Within this collection, some original photographic prints and postcards were interfiled with the copies. Between 1997 and 2004 the original items were extracted from the File Prints Collection, and form the basis of this collection.
Quantity: 274 box(es) containing photographic prints and photographic postcards.
Physical Description: Black and white photographic prints, photographic and photomechanical postcards, and some colour photographic prints.
Processing information: This collection is being processed in stages. In 30 June 2017, a project commenced to process the boxes of undescribed prints. Each box was given a record with a title which included the Dewey number written on the box label. The records were then added to this collection. The project to describe each photograph or postcard within a box is ongoing, and as boxes are completed, the records are added to this collection.
