The Whites Aviation Collection – John Sullivan

Monday, 25 August 2008, The Arts Centre, 61-69 Abel Smith Street, 7.30pm

The Alexander Turnbull Library collection of White's Aviation Ltd consists of nearly 90,000 negatives and 50,000 prints.

From the 1940s to 1990s, White's Aviation photographed New Zealand from the air. Their photographs have been widely used by historians, geographers, iwi historians and others researching land use in New Zealand, and have already attracted considerable interest in the short time they have been held by the library.

John Sullivan, Curator of the Photographic Archive, Alexander Turnbull Library, will present a talk on the collection.

NB This talk replaces “Getting your photos on the web” by Keith Miller which has been rescheduled for the 11 November meeting.
