Physical Description: Photographic materials, mss, typescripts Provenance: Donated by James (Jim) Watt, Brisbane, Australia, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. Transfers: Negatives from accession PH-2015-124 described at 33mm-101258 to 101292. - Negatives from accession 2016-0584 described at 35mm-103819 to 35mm-103851.. Processing information: The original reference number assigned to the collection, PA-Group-00954, was changed to ATL-Group-00175 in September 2017. At this time, the title of the collection was also changed from "Photographs and papers relating to Totorore expedition" to its current title. Transparencies were removed from original housing and placed in archival enclosures. If the accompanying information was unable to be placed in an enclosure (i.e. was written on a plastic slide container), this information was transcribed by the Librarian and placed in sequence with the appropriate material. Subject authorities used at child level records relating to bird watching generally use the vernacular name for the bird genus (i.e. swans rather than cygnus). For instance, if there is an image of a black-necked swan, the subject heading used is "Swans". In some cases, where a particular bird is prominent in the collection, and is the only subgenus from that particular family to be used, the vernacular names for subgenus is used as a subject heading (i.e. Magellanic penguins). In the Scope and Contents note, the name of the specific species, as captioned by Watt on the slide, is used. Watt's use sometimes differs from the preferred vernacular term on Library of Congress (i.e. Watt uses narrow-billed prion instead of slender-billed prion).
