The original formats of these images vary widely, from glass plates and lantern slides to 35mm negatives, colour transparencies and prints.

    Does anyone know what this room was for - dining, hall, chapel?

    It is a wonderful photo, full of ghosts which had not yet happened.

    It was the recreation hall and chapel, with male and female dining halls either side behind retractable iron shutters, so that a larger space could be made. Read all about it - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13591166

    Is the oval matt attached to the photo or could you possibly scan the complete photo? Cheers!

    I think this is a composite photo. The scaling of the men and the trains is wrong.
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Bankstown Babyboomer Yes, these photos are in an album and they are attached to the matt.
