HMSS 0179 Cameron Offices Construction 1971-1976
This collection was donated by the family of Keith White. Mr White was a leading hand working closely with the architect on the building of the Cameron Offices. The material donated was scheduled for disposal. Mr White was permitted to keep the material for himself.
The collection consists of 26 technical manuals and costing books apparently used in the fitout of the Cameron Offices (Series 1 Trade Literature) and 5 albums of photographs of the construction of Cameron Offices 1971-1975 (Series 2 Photographs). There are more than 600 images in the collection.
The five volumes that make up the Photographic Record of Construction Progress contain sets of black and white photographs each with a site plan marked with the positions from where the photographs were taken. Between 8 and 26 photographs were taken each shoot.
