How to Use:
Under the terms of agreement made with Davies Brothers Ltd the following access conditions apply - "Photographs and negatives will not be made publicly available within 50 years of the date of creation without the express consent of Davis Brothers Pty Limited. All other records will be available for the public to use in the History Room."
Files can therefore be viewed and notes taken (i.e. negative numbers) but copies of photographs created in the last 50 years in any format cannot be made without permission. Note PTE. on the back of a photograph means no negative will be held in the Mercury Negative Collections.
Series notes:
Photographs often with clippings attached arranged in alphabetical order by subject. Includes both people and subjects. The negative number is on the photograph.
Previously a Dewey system of photo files were used. (NS4021) From the 1 January 1990 an alphabetical sequence of photo files was commenced which was considered a more efficient method of retrieving photo files needed by Mercury staff. Photo files created prior to 1990 were removed from the Dewey system when needed and placed into this new alphabetical sequence. New files created after 1 January 1990 were also placed into the new alphabetical sequence.
These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
