I know what you mean about libraries...I went to the library the other day hoping to re-read some of the books that came up on my blog post about Australian books. I was utterly astonished by how many weren't held.Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143746786252232720.post-52998351392131709412012-03-17T12:00:15.418+11:002012-03-17T12:00:15.418+11:00Thanks Jill,

It seems such a waste of already paid for public resources, but I won't go there... the argument for properly funded and resourced libraries of all kinds and their value is one that can really get me going for ages; I have done my fare share of arguing against the "Manager's" who have never worked in a Library!<br /><br />I know about the book you mention "Australians Behind the Camera: The Directory of Early Australian Photographers 1841–1945" by Sandy Barrie, and have it on my "wants list", but it will have to wait as we are about to travel for 6 weeks!luckyllamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332811544831993907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143746786252232720.post-48291478570534615012012-03-13T20:25:58.766+11:002012-03-13T20:25:58.766+11:00Hello Linda. I know what you mean about libraries ...Hello Linda. I know what you mean about libraries culling their collections. I bought some great books very cheaply at two such sales! You mentioned <i>The Mechanical Eye in Australia</i>, but have you used <i>Australians Behind the Camera: The Directory of Early Australian Photographers 1841–1945</i> by Sandy Barrie (Fast Books, Sydney, 2002)? It lists (for Australia and Territories) professional photographers and studios 1841–1945 and noted amateur photographers 1841–1900. It includes known dates/addresses. (This information is from my book <i>Specialist Indexes in Australia: a Genealogist's Guide</i>.)Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730547717403140047noreply@blogger.com
