Brief description

A collection of 284 photographs taken by James Francis (Frank) Hurley (1885-1962) as part of his duties as official photographer, covering expeditionary work on the Discovery Expedition. A Graflex camera was probably used and the photographs were all taken on glass plate negatives (8 ½ by 6 ½ inches).

Notes

Due to the large size and weight of the Graflex camera, Hurley used smaller format (including Panoramic and Stereoscopic) cameras for. His AAE Whole Plate Collection was catalogued with the prefix 'W' for this grouping - to distinguish it from the BANZARE Whole Plate Collection ('WP')

Data time period: 1929 to 1931
