THE PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTIONS

Pyromorphite on malachite from Brown's Prospect, Rum Jungle, Northern Territory

The photographic collection consists of approximately 1000 large format colour transparencies plus about 2000 35mm slides of mineral specimens. In addition there are accompanying slides of mineral localities and geological features.

Many of the mineral photographs have been featured on the CD-ROM Minerals of the World.

The majority of the mineral photographs were taken by Museum Victoria's photographer, Frank Coffa.
