Portion of AA 263/10 comprises photographs of Australian Aboriginal people in enlarged format.

Where a record item has a definitive entry (eg "Tommy at Port Augusta" it can be taken that the descriptive data has been taken from an annotation on the item or from an archival list. Some effort has been taken to identify the location where photographs of Australian Aboriginal people were taken. However, researchers need to be aware that unless an item is annotated with identifying details by the collector, some entries may be doubtful.
