The item AA 338/5/1 consists of six volumes of the photographic images pertaining to Norman B Tindale's expedition to Groote Eylandt 1921-1922, Northern Territory, Australia. Although Tindale's first expedition, namely Groote Eylandt, involved ethnographic and entomological fieldwork, the images in these six volumes mostly reflect the cultural and social milieu of Groote Eylandt (Northern Territory) people including components of their material culture and ceremonial life. The issues captured by these images thus reflect Tindale's early anthropological work.

The majority of these photographs were taken by Tindale himself during his stay at Groote Eylandt and his visits to surrounding islands and Roper River between 1921-1922. However, some of the photographs have been provided by various sources: Rev. HE Warren (Tindale's associate during his examination of Groote Eylandt Archipelago 1921-1922); AJ Dyer and Mrs Dyer of the Church Missionary Society that provided numerous notes on Nungubuyu people and Ingura women; RD Joynt; Mr ECH Lousada; L Perriman and Hubert Wilking. Although it was intended for this item to include Tindale's photographs only, it became apparent, in the process of collating the images, that the photographs taken by the abovementioned sources do belong to NB Tindale's photographic collection. Those images had been provided or taken for Tindale's research work, publication or personal use. Due to this material, some of the photographs are dated prior to and beyond 1922, as late as 1933.

The item AA 338/5/1/Vol. 1-6 consists of mainly black and white (b/w) photographic prints, contact prints obtained from the corresponding acetate negatives, some b/w 35 mm films and a very few slides. It is apparent that many of the images have been reproduced over a period of time so that numerous duplicates of the particular image are present (throughout volumes). Some of the prints are of a later date while others appear to be originals. Most of the background information about the photographs was easily obtained via NB Tindale's annotations on the prints. In some cases it was necessary to rely on the Groote Eylandt journals or the relevant published material. In the detailed list of photographs, NB Tindale’s captions are used as an image title. In the cases of duplicates, the captions on the prints that provide most exhaustive information about the image were used as a primary source, while other annotations were quoted as an 'alternative annotation(s)'. A numbering system has been imposed onto the inventory items by the South Australian Museum Archives.

As supplementary material to the corresponding journals, (see 'Journey to Groote Eylandt 1921-1922', AA 338/1/1-3) the photographs have been collated in the manner that reflects the journals' chronological structure. Concurrently, the abovementioned arrangement also intended to make a distinction between the sources of photographs. This has resulted, as previously mentioned, in five volumes of numbered photographic material in the following order:

• Vol. 1, containing photographs 1-136 (AA 338/5/1/1-136)
  This volume consists of mainly b/w photographic prints taken by Tindale. The majority of images are organised in chronological order, with the exception of those photographs that have been found at a later stage of organising the photographic collection and thus have been placed out of the sequential order in the archival folders.
  Date range: 1921-1922. (and 1907, see the lists of photographs below, photograph no. 1)

  
  
  

• Vol. 2, containing photographs 137-200 (AA 338/5/1/137-200)
  This volume is a continuation of the Vol. 1, Tindale's photographs. The folder contains photographs 137-143. The remaining numbering capacity, 144-200 namely, has been left blank for the additional photographs that eventually might appear in the process of sorting out the collection.
  Date range: 1921 and undated

  
  
  

• Vol. 3, containing photographs 201-270 (AA 338/5/1/201-270)
  This volume contains photographs taken by sources other than Tindale. They are: RD Joynt, ECH Lousada, L Perriman, Hubert Wilking, AJ Dyer, HW Warren. The actual contents of the folder are photographs numbered 201-250.
  Date range: 1920-1933

  
  
  

• Vol. 4, containing photographs 271-298 (AA 338/5/1/271-298)
  This volume consists of b/w photographic prints containing images of a restricted and/or culturally sensitive nature. The actual content of the folder are photographs numbered 271-287. The photographs were taken by NB Tindale, RD Joynt, ECH Lousada.

  
  
  

• Vol. 5, containing photographs 299-317 (AA 338/5/1/299-317)
  The last volume of this item, Vol. 5, includes photographs numbered as above. However, the remaining content of the volume are duplicates of the images from the previous volumes, including Vol. 4. For further details about this volume see under detailed list of photographs, Vol. 5.

  
  
  

• Vol. 6, containing photographs 318-358 (AA 338/5/1/318-399)
