Description: Arrangement: This collection is made up of empty negative envelopes to each of which is attached a file print. They were scattered throughout the wax boxes in which the War History collection had been housed for the last eight years. In giving the collection a general order they have been sorted into their series groups. They have not been arranged in numerical sequence as yet (though some might be so arranged. The material in this collection is drawn from the other alphabetical series. Any negatives will be housed in the "DA" sequence in the negative stores. The main access to this sequence are the "DA" files in the Pictorial Reference Section. The "DA" images in this collection are not necessarily duplicates of those in the files. This sequence was probably created by the Historical Publications Branch of the Department of Internal Affairs. (Feb 1995) Quantity: 1 container(s) (box).
