Aldermanic Photographs

Description

Unique IDAS-0054Start date1st January 1877Start date qualifierbyEnd date31st December 1992End date qualifierbyFormatPhotograph - PrintDescriptionThe records in this series were the photographs of Mayors, Lord Mayors, Aldermen, Lady Mayoresses, and Council officers such as the Town Clerk, Deputy Town Clerk, City Architect and Building Surveyor, City Assessor, City Auditor, City Engineer, City Health Officer, City Librarian, City Organist, City Solicitor, City Surveyor, City Treasurer, and the Inspector of Nuisances.

The albums also contain photographs of the Sydney Town Hall, and Mayors of other Sydney Municipalities in 1920, which are duplicates of an album presented to the Prince of Wales on a Royal Tour in 1920. Some of the photographs appear to have once been part of a composite photograph, later cut up as separate photographs. Not every Council was photographed.

The photographs were maintained in the Town Clerk's Department until 1965, when they were transferred to the Sydney City Library (CRS 34, TC 817/1965). The albums were kept in the Reference Area of the Library until approximately 1990 when they were retrieved by the Curator of the Town Hall due to their poor condition. The last volume containing items 586 to 636 remained in the custody of the Lord Mayor’s Secretary until it was transferred to Archives via the Curator of the Town Hall Collection in 1996.
