Photographs

There are 1029 photographs (black and white, 6 x 6 cm) split over two parts (or albums). Norman Francis Nelson (also knowns as "NF") was the main photographer. The photographs document the travels of "NF" and JT Robinson as they journeyed from Brisbane, visiting, inspecting and evaluating the four mission stations administered by the Presbyterian Church of Queensland. There are many photographs of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The original album with its captioning was retained (in Box 1); the photograph captions were transposed exactly into the new albums, and these captions are used as the titles for each photographs; titles in square brackets are provided by Library staff.
