Extent: 16 files and volumes
Arrangement: Photographs received in some disorder. Where groups of photographs were together and they clearly relate to each other then those groupings of images have been retained. Otherwise photographs arranged as best as possible in the files listed here, broadly in chronological order. With regard to leaves which were once part of a photograph album these have been placed together as best as possible to try to recreate said albums. However the albums are incomplete and the original order of each album is not known.
