Scope and content

Album, 32 x 28 x 5 cm, of ninety-two (92) black and white photographs presented to William James Gall of the official trips by James Stopford. The photographs feature James Stopford and William James Gall, as well as others possibly during the period from 1923 to 1928. Stopford was Home Secretary in the Queensland Government from 1923 to 1929. Gall worked as under-secretary for home affairs and protector of Aborigines from 1913 until possibly 1926.

Includes photographs of: Stopford Home for Aboriginal Girls at Barambah Aboriginal Settlement (now Cherbourg); Yhurri Gurri ceremonial arch at Barambah Aboriginal Settlement, 3-May-1928; Cherbourg Hospital; Cobbo Williams play acting with Mr Stopford at Cherbourg Aboriginal Settlement ca. 1925; a resident of Barambah giving a speech to welcome the members of the parliamentary party at the opening of the Stopford Home for Aboriginal Girls (The bandsmen, left to right, are Eddie Gilbert, Freddy Martin and Jimmy Dodd); the G-AUER air plane, called Hermes; photographs of a mine; and many unidentified Aboriginal and Torres Straits islander peoples.

Only the last six photographs have notations indicating that the photographs were taken by/belonged to E.W. Dabelstein. The album has the title embossed on the cover with the photographs pasted, generally two per page, onto the leaves which are made of green mid-weight card. There are some panorama photographs which have been folded to fit in the album.

Content advice: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are warned that this resource may contain images, transcripts or names of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples now deceased. It may also contain historically and culturally sensitive words, terms, and descriptions.
