Photographs Arranged by William Rowan Browne [Tannatt William Edgeworth (TWE) David] (Series 1478)

William Rowan Browne arranged at least part of TWE David's collection of photographs after David's death in preparation for publishing the treatise on the Geology of Australia. The dates of some photographs suggest that Browne added to the collection, but to what extent is not known. There was clear evidence of original order in the cases of photographs of fossils, economic geology and "antiquity of man". The photographs which did not appear to fit into these categories have been arranged mainly by field trip where possible and geographical location. The photographs document geological excursions undertaken by David, especially to Central Australia and across the Nullarbor in 1921 and to Kosciusko in 1906. The photographs of expeditions to Funafuti and Antarctica are located in Series 1452 and 1458 respectively. There are other photographs depicting fossils and other geological subjects mostly in Australia, as well as economic geology, and Tasmanian and Australian Aboriginal peoples. The latter relate to scripts on the "antiquity of man" (Series 1467: Items 15-17, Series 1474: Item 6, Series 1483: Item 18 and Series 1493: Item 2). The photographs documenting David's research on fossils in rocks in South Australia are located in Series 1461. Many of the photographs are annotated, some by David. Many photographs are not dated; thus very rough estimates have been made of the approximate decade the photographs were taken. There are original negatives of some snapshots, presumably taken by David. In addition, some of the images were archival estrays in the custody of TG Vallance. In folders.
