Due to the reproducible nature of photographs and the wide circulation of early ethnographic imagery in academic circles, single images and parts of collections are often located in different institutions. In addition, copyright and conventions for crediting original artists were less stringent than they are now. For example, if a studio purchased someone鈥檚 photo, they often reprinted under their own name. These aspects add additional layers of complication to collections which already have potentially myriad cultural, social and historical interpretations. The collections are not fully itemised or digitised and many are the subject of ongoing internal and external research. We welcome genuine requests for access to the collections.
