Descriptive Data
Archives IdentifierAM001Date Range1860-1990sDescriptionThis is an artificial series created to bring together many photographs and large photographic prints in Wellington City Council's collection with the following characteristics:
- they are known or assumed to have been been donated to the Council, or
- their origin is unknown or can no longer be established.
Some of the latter, for instance, may originally have come as part of The Early Settlers' and Historical Association of Wellington donations but insufficient documentation at the time means this can no longer be established. The other defining characteristic is that they were all just one or two isolated photographs forming no series on their own. Quantity (Linear Metres)2.53MediumPhotographSystem of ArrangementThere is no system of arrangement. However where multiple items were donated together (for example a group of items relating to the same creator or subject) we have grouped them under the same record identifier to capture this provenance.Collection TypeCommunity archives
