Description

The collection contains 5"x4" glass plate negatives in black and white of oblique aerial views produced by Aerofilms between 1919 and 1939.

The negatives were assigned a numerical sequence from 1 to 62864. The last figure is the basis for the estimated quantity of negatives in the collection. However, there are numerous gaps in the sequence and the actual figure is likely to be much lower. Reasons for the gaps include breakages and losses, unassigned numbers, or clients having custody of negatives.

There is a sequence of large format film negatives with references 48461 to 49430.

Details of each negative are recorded in registers numbered 1 to 6 on the registers handlist (AFL03/03) and these often include date, client, location and photographer. Topographical and subject access to the negatives is via the print albums (AFL03/05-AFL03/10).
