Album - Photograph Album, Alan Gardner, Engineering Infrastructure Projects, 1939-1942

Physical description

Decorative card covers with re linen spine, 19 x 26.5 x 3 cm; 20 leaves (black) with first and last leaf blank; photos (sepia/B&W) mounted with photo corners with white ink captions or typed on white labels. Some pages missing photos. Bound with (faded) red cord (2 holes)

The album pages were loose and clearly mixed up, not in original order. Forensic analysis of the photos and pages has been undertaken to re-assemble in as close as practical to original order by subject. At some stage the album has been updated/reorganised and some photos moved and new label captions adhered. Some pages show photos inserted over original white 'paint' captions which have no relationship to the images.

Also five 11.5x 16 cm reprints (loose) associated with Maribyrnong Munitions Sewage Treatment E.F.M., May 1939 inserted at pages 17, 19 and 34. Pages 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 26, 34 are either blank or photos removed (relocated)
