Description
The collection contains 5" x 4" glass plate and 6" x 4" film negatives in black and white of oblique aerial views produced by AeroPictorial between 1934 and 1960.
The negatives have the reference numbers R1 to R39,755 and 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.
Details of each negative are recorded in registers numbered 45-54 on the register 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).
Archival History
AeroPictorial Ltd was set up in 1934 by Cyril E. Murrell (who had worked at Aerofilms between 1921 and 1934). The two companies were merged in 1960 when Murrell died.
