This series comprises one black and white (b/w) photographic print which depicts a large group of children grouped together for the photograph. Note that this photograph may show unidentified people. The print is stored unmounted in a binder titled 'AA 1 Aborigines' Friends' Association (AFA) Photographic Prints, Album 3 of 4'.

South Australian Museum archivist Kay L Mead described this series in 1980. In her listing she recorded three captions for this series. The first, 'Roper River', is probably taken from the annotations and has been retained as the 'Series Title' and is listed in the 'Details' field of the inventory. The second caption appears to be a repeat of the annotations found on the print. The third caption Kay Mead lists comes from Rev JH Sexton's publication Australian Aborigines (p.101) where it reads 'Native children at Roper River, North Australia, who are receiving training and instruction by CMS missionaries'. The annotations as well as printers' instructions are written on the reverse of the print. All place names and proper names from the annotations and captions have been indexed.

The series was part of Acc. No. 86.
