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. |
