Collections Relating to Harold Cazneaux


Collections in the National Library of Australia

The Cazneaux Collection is one of the National Library's most important Pictorial collections. It comprises 272 exhibition prints, 4,000 glass negatives and 200 working photographs in the Cazneaux Reference Collection. The first consignment of exhibition prints was donated to the Library by the daughters of Harold Cazneaux in 1974. Individual photographs were donated later and in 1983, 200 photographs now known as the Cazneaux Reference Collection were received. In 1991 the Cazneaux family donated a large collection of Harold Cazneaux's glass negatives, to be use for reference and research. The Cazneaux family has also given the Library invaluable assistance in dating and captioning the photographs, which span the years 1910-1940.

The Library also has a collection of Cazneaux's papers in the Manuscript Collection as well many printed works about Cazneaux and his work. Details for all catalogued items in the National Library's collection may be obtained from the NLA Catalogue.

Access to material in the special collections is possible through the Pictorial and Manuscript reading rooms. A selection of the exhibition prints have also been made available through an online version of the exhibition Harold Cazneaux Photographs .
