NRS-22460 | Glass Plate and Acetate Negatives, Mechanical Branch

These are glass plate negatives of photographs taken by the Photographic Section staff. There is approximately one box of acetate negatives in another consignment. A register is held (R172 = NRS-22457, Shot Book Register). The series is arranged numerically with 'B' (the letter 'B' refers to the size of the plate. From 1924 to 1944 the register followed the numbering B28. From 1945 the numbering changed so that the two numbers after the 'B' refers to the year, for example B45 refers to images taken in 1945. Item start and end dates are circa only. The following are some 'interesting' images highlighted by staff, other than those of locomotives and mechanical parts, axle bogies, turntables etc. - Central station, soda fountain and ice cream counter, B28.704 - White Bay Power Station, B28.877-B28.890, B28.922-B28.926 - War memorials, 1926, B28.1029-B28.1035 - Royal Carriage, B28.1130-B28.1136 Custody History From 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an 'in house archives' consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the 'State Rail Archives' the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered. This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection where it was identified as series R175. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R175 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.

保管历史：
1955年至2000年，新南威尔士州铁路局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设有内部档案馆，馆藏涵盖该局、其前身机构及政府接管的私营铁路公司的档案记录，馆藏时间跨度为1849年至2000年。在决定关闭州铁路档案馆后，符合州档案保管要求的馆藏部分被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW），并纳入该机构的档案管理序列体系，重新进行编号。本系列原隶属于州铁路档案馆馆藏，原编号为R175。此前新南威尔士州铁路档案馆的研究人员、相关出版物或未刊作品中可能曾以R175系列指代本藏品。
