There are 3,156 photographs, some prints, some negatives, reflecting very large collection of photographs taken by Hill during her many long tours of outback Australia, from the early 1930s and cover all aspects of Northern, Western and outback Australia: flora and fauna, scenery, missions, homestead life, coastal scenes and shipping, traditional industries such as fishing, droving, pearling and sugar farming, mining, camel transport, dwellings, cemeteries, and public buildings. There is pictorial material relating to the life and customs of Aboriginal Australians in all areas of Australia.
