VPRS 15826 Photographic Collection (GRS 1148)

This record series comprises a collection of photographs accumulated by the Bellarine Shire. The photographs record people and objects from within the former Shire. The photographs have been taken using black and white film except for some colour photographs from the last few years of the series being recorded.The photographs are described in a booklet within Unit 1. The photographs have been numbered 1-1200 and are arranged in that order.Photographs are arranged in sleeves with typed descriptive cards at the back of each photograph. The cards include the name of the subject and the source. The Source is often the Geelong Historical Records Centre (GHRC) (now the Geelong HeritageCentre). That is, those photographs were accommodated within the GHRC collection before being reproduced by Bellarine Shire/Rural City. The Shire was responsible for taking some of the photographs. The remainder were accumulated by the Shire from other sources.
