Negative, Photographic negatives from Archie and Ruby Harker Collection - Early 1950's to Mid 1960's, B&W and Colour

Historical information

Archir Harker was married to Ruby Wilson and mentioned in the "Wielands of Heathmont "book.
From Greg Coker:
In August 2023, RDHS asked Greg Coker to scan a set of negatives. He was able to work out, through various notes, that the pictures were taken by J A Harker of 9 Grange St, Mont Albert in the mid 50s to the mid 60s.
Most of the film was 9cm X 6cm B&W negatives. All pictures have been cropped and where appropriate, put through a light filter. They have been scanned at 1600ppi resulting in ~3meg B&W shots (~5meg for the half dozen colour shots).
The Harkers certainly liked their hiking – they were ahead of their time.
