Bolton, Oceanic Cultural Property in Australia: a pilot survey of major public collections, prepared for the Australian National Commission for UNESCO (Sydney 1980), section VII, ‘Photographic Resources’, 251–300; A. Davies, The Location and Identification of Australian Photographs, particularly of the Nineteenth Century, in British Institutions (report to The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust of Australia 1986). Only six copies were made. They are held by the Mitchell Library, the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust in Canberra, and the author. Davies notes photographs relating to Papua New Guinea. 3 For example, none of the following classic Pacific bibliographies use ‘photographs’ as a subject category or even include the term in their general indexes: C.R.H. Taylor, A Pacific Bibliography: printed matter relating to the native peoples of Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia (Wellington 1951); P.A. Snow, A Bibliography of Fiji, Rotuma and Tonga (Canberra 1969); Phyllis Mander-Jones, Manuscripts in the British Isles relating to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific (Canberra 1972); Sally Edridge, Solomon Islands Bibliography to 1980 (Suva 1985). 4 Microfilmed by the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau at PMB 1142, the originals are now lodged in the National Library of Australia, Canberra (hereinafter NLA), Acc.702/157. 5 For example: the photograph collection of the London Missionary Society, World Mission Archives, School of Oriental and Asian Studies, London; and the uncatalogued photograph collection of the South Sea Evangelical Mission, formerly the Queensland Kanaka Mission, documenting its activities in the Solomon Islands and New Guinea since 1890, held at the Centre for the Study of Australian Christianity, Menzies College, Macquarie University, Sydney. 6 For example, J.T. Arundel's, photographs documenting phosphate mining in Nauru and Ocean Island and labour recruiting in Kiribati and Tuvalu, 1900–09, NLA (MS5410); and the photographic archive of the British Phosphate Commissioners held at the Victorian Branch of the National Archives of Australia (hereinafter NAA). 7 For example: the photographic archives of Burns Philp & Co. Ltd and CSR Ltd held at the Noel Butlin Archives Centre, Australian National University, Canberra; photographs in the Unilever Company archives in the UK; and photographs in the Union Steamship Company archives held at the Hocken Archives, Otago University, Dunedin. 8 For example: the Fiji Times and the (later) Pacific Islands Monthly photographic archives both held in the Fiji Times office in Suva. 9 Robert Holden, Photography in Colonial Australia: the mechanical eye and the illustrated book (Sydney 1988). 10 Holden notes that ‘Webb's work contains thirty-six original untitled photographs of Fijian scenery, buildings and natives, while the New Guinea work contains thirty-five original photographs including two magnificent folding panoramas, one of Port Moresby and the other of Argyll Bay’.
