Index to the Hume Family Photograph Collection in the Fryer Library
 

The Hume family lived at Drayton, Toowoomba, and in Brisbane. Walter Cunningham Hume was a surveyor and Chief Commissioner for Lands for Queensland.

The Hume Family Collection contains personal correspondence, photograph albums, travel journals, diaries of various family members, notebooks, and is available within the Fryer Library.

The contents of the photograph albums have been digitised at 150 dpi, and are available here. They comprise family pictures, images of early Brisbane and Toowoomba, overseas travel pictures, and a number of sketches.

Many of the photographs were taken by W.C.Hume, his family and friends; others are commercial photographs.

An online exhibition is available at this site, and its introduction provides further information about the Hume family and the collection.
