Obtaining the Collection
As there are very few remaining images of this expedition, it is important that these photographs have not only returned to Australia, but are now held in the Northern Territory, by the Library who make them accessible to the public as part of the documentary heritage of the Northern Territory.
The photographs were advertised for sale by Maggs Bros Ltd; an antiquarian bookseller in London and the Library sought the assistance of a specialist in London to view and assess the photographs, which were subsequently purchased by the Library in August 2008.
