Together, the project team has devoted more than three years to unlocking the mysteries of the collection. What began as a simple digitization exercise swiftly morphed into a wild journey of discovery and kismet. Intensive detective sessions and discussions with fellow historical networks ensued, gradually unearthing our photojournalistic history and technologies, the merits of volunteer work, and astonishing stories from 1930s Victoria. From the domestic to the dramatic, the celebratory to the solemn, these fascinating images capture a fleeting yet significant period in Interwar, Depression-era Melbourne. Above all, the McKenzie Collection project has brought about a powerful and sustained sense of engagement, connection and celebration between people across decades and places.the age newspaper, photography, 1930-1939, christmas -
