Physical characteristics
After an
extensive rehousing project the Collection is now mostly housed in type 5 containers.
The negatives and prints have been separated with the prints in standard
storage and the negatives in the cold room.
The glass plate negatives are also stored in the cold room in type 1 containers.
System of arrangement and control
The
photographs within the Collection are catalogued with the subject and a
consecutive number with a year prefix, ie a
photograph relating to ‘Apex Sponsorship Scheme for British’ migrants taken in
1946 would be identified as ‘46/1/1.

Colour
photographs are identified with a ‘C’ suffix. Those photographs which have been
catalogued since 1999 are identified with a ‘B’ suffix.
Caption information from the items has been added to existing descriptive
information to form the best description online in the National Archives
RecordSearch database. It is best to utilise RecordSearch to view images and
find information in this series because it is the most comprehensive and
detailed representation of this series in its entirety.

Finding aids
An
electronic version of the consolidated photo catalogue that covers 51 Sections corresponding to individual
subjects is available
from NAA staff. The material has been classified and dated as accurately as
possible by researchers with long experience in the immigration field. However in many instances it has only been
possible to identify a series of photographs as relating to a particular place
or event, without specific detail.
