VPRS 17096 Index to VPRS 17095 Photographic Prints & B & W Negatives, PY prefix, SECV Latrobe Valley Photo Collection

The SECV Latrobe Valley Photographic collection began in the 1920s with photographs taken of the progress of construction of the Yallourn Township, Power Station and Briquette Factory. It continued on a part-time basis until after World War II and eventually a full-time photographer was appointed and attached to the Yallourn Drawing Office. Between 1957 and 1961 the Morwell Project ran a separate photographic activity. 1962 saw the formation of the Latrobe Valley Region, which merged Yallourn and the Morwell Project. This resulted in the two photographic functions combining as part of the Yallourn Drawing Office.In the 1990s, with the corporatisation, disaggregation and privatisation of the SECV, the photographic collection was allocated to PowerWorks, which was jointly owned by the three Latrobe Valley based generation companies. In late 2010 the collection was transferred back into SECV custody.The collection is made up of several series:- Photographic prints and B & W Negatives,- Photographs in albums,- Glass Plate negatives,- 35mm slides,- Indexes.This series was created to provide access to photographic prints and negatives located in VPRS 17095.The Indexes consist of four Volumes and are arranged by Series, Division, Photograph Number, Description of Photograph and Date Taken.The index headings are as follows:- PY2 - Survey - 9 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY3 - Open Cut Layouts and Developments - 10 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY4 - Railways and Dredge Tracks - 11 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY5 Locomotives - 9 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY6 - Trucks (Railway) - 7 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY7 - Track shifters, Track Maintenance Machinery - 5 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY8 - Dump Ploughs - 1 Division in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY9 - Excavating Machines (Dredgers) - 21 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY10 - Auxiliary Excavating Machines (Shovels and Draglines) - 10 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY11 - Overburden Disposal Plant - 6 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY12 - Coal Handling and Conveying Plant (Bins, Loaders, Conveyors & Slot Bunkers) - 16 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY13 - Bridges and Trestleways - 4 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY14 - Roads and Culverts - 4 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY15 - Pumping Plant and Fire Service (Water Supply) - 9 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY16 - Auxiliary Transport Plant - 6 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY17 - Cranes and Hoisting Gear - 6 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY18 - Not Used- PY19 - Buildings and Site Developments - 23 Divisions in this Series (Refer t- PY20 - General Plant and Tools - 8 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY21 - Standard Machine Equipment - No Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY22 - Land Acquisition, Claims etc. - No Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY23 - Not Used- PY24 - Miscellaneous - 9 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY25 - Meteorological Records and Equipment - 1 Division in this Series- PY26 - Gauges and Small Tools - Weightometers - 13 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY27 - Overburden Disposal Areas - 4 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY28 - Drainage and Stream Diversion - 5 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY29 - Gasification - No Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY30 - Pictorial (Illustrations, Drawings, Reports Prepared for Lectures) - 11 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY31 - Ditch Bunker Loaders - 11 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY32 - Ditch Bunkers - Ditch and Buildings - 2 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY33 to P 35- Not Used- PY36 - Electrical - 5 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)- PY37 - Geological - 8 Divisions in this Series (Refer to Index)For photographic series from the SECV Head Office Photo Collection, refer to the inventory of series for SECV (VA 1002).

SECV（维多利亚州国家电力委员会，State Electricity Commission of Victoria）拉筹伯谷（Latrobe Valley）摄影藏品始于20世纪20年代，收录了亚卢恩（Yallourn）镇、发电站及型煤厂的建设进展影像。该藏品以兼职方式开展收集工作直至第二次世界大战结束，此后正式聘任专职摄影师，并将其隶属于亚卢恩绘图办公室。1957年至1961年间，莫尔韦尔（Morwell）项目开展了独立的摄影工作。1962年，拉筹伯谷区域管理机构成立，将亚卢恩项目与莫尔韦尔项目合并，二者的摄影职能也随之整合为亚卢恩绘图办公室的组成部分。
20世纪90年代，随着SECV的公司化改制、拆分与私有化进程，该摄影藏品被划归由三家拉筹伯谷本地发电企业联合所有的PowerWorks（电力工程公司）。2010年末，该藏品重新移交SECV保管。
