Description

This series comprises two black and white (b/w) postcards, one a panorama of Hermannsburg, the other depicting Christmas 1929 at Hermannsburg; as well as five black and white photographs depicting various groups of unidentified people at Hermannsburg. The print AA 1/23/7 was probably taken by Ernest E Kramer (AA 669). The prints are stored unmounted in a binder titled 'AA 1 Aborigines' Friends' Association (AFA) Photographic Prints, Album 2 of 4'.

This series was described by South Australian Museum archivist Kay L Mead in 1980. In her listing she recorded a caption for this series but the exact source of the caption is not known. The caption has been retained as the 'Series Title'. All place names and proper names from the annotations and caption have been indexed. All of the annotations and ink stamps found on the prints have been listed in the 'Details' field of the inventory.

The series was part of Acc. No. 86
