Photographic slides from Massim, PNG, in MAA photographic collections
About
The Museum cares for over 250,000 photographic objects, one of the largest and most significant anthropology and archaeology collections in Britain. The Museum has always collected photographs, viewing them as important cultural objects. Our earliest photographs were made in 1853 by Frederick Berger of Garicha and Dick, two Kuarareg men from Cape York, Queensland. The collection includes material from the late 19th and early 20th century – when there was significant developments in the way photography was used – as well as recent works by contemporary anthropologists and artists. Many photographs are on regular display; the reserve collection can be seen by appointment.
The staff working in the Photography section of the museum are:
Dr Anita Herle, Senior Curator
Dr Jocelyne Dudding, Collections Manager
