The Allan Doney Collection comprises more than 13,000 negatives and 3,000 prints produced from the 1950s to the 1970s, and was gifted from the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) to the Bendigo Historical Society in 2025.
Allan Doney was a tailor and a prolific amateur photographer. Using the critical aspects of great photography, light and composition, he created a delightful time-capsule of Bendigo and the surrounding small towns, mine sites and farms. Doney also left us images that can be studied for their significant content in a time of great change to some central Victorian natural and built environments.
BHS is devoting substantial resources to making the collection publicly available and is determined to responsibly manage the collection both in its physical form and in relation to intellectual property rights.
The search capacity in the database has limited information relating to each image – this content information will be enhanced over time.
