Overview

Two sets of negatives from the "Saga" company, with Historic "Buildings" handwritten on the inside cover.
a) The first set of negatives contains six views of Culham, three of Knockdominie and two of an unidentified sheep yard using a Harper fence. The photos are not high resolution but do give a good view of the structural components of each place.
b) The second set of negatives contains photos of buildings along Stirling Terrace as well as shots of Avondale in West Toodyay and Coorinja Winery. Again the photos are not high quality, but do provide a variety of vantage points to describe the structure of the buildings.
Both sets of negatives appear to be in good condition.

Historical information

It is unknown how these negatives came to be grouped together in the Museum Workshop. In terms of intellectual property, the original owner of these images is unknown but it is assumed that they were taken with the intent of recording Toodyay's wealth of historic structures. It is therefore assumed that these photos are intended to be kept for research or display.
