Photographs of the old Wilson Hall: four snapshots of the Hall burning on 25 January 1952; two photographic slides of the Hall, one of the south face, the other seen from the south-west; the Hall, with Old Arts to the left, taken from the roof of the Engineering Building; two showing the interior during a graduation ceremony facing the Stevens stained glass window); a photographic slide each of the Old Arts Building and the Zoology Building.

The University of Melbourne Archives Photograph Collection consists of individual photographs about the University from a variety of miscellaneous sources assembled into an artificial series. It was established to control the many photographs about the University donated to the Archives with scarce details of their provenance. More well documented photographs of the University are kept within their individual collections rather than added to this series.
