On the 23 July 2018, whilst the UON’s IT Innovation Team were conducting a 3D scan of the historic Victoria Theatre building in Perkins Street Newcastle, they found an old camera hanging on a wooden beam.
The camera was found to contain 9 images, and we posted the camera on twitter to find someone who could develop the original film reel for us.
Local photographer Charlie Hardy, answering the call through a twitter post, developed the original negative film to finally reveal the contents, that consisted of around 36 images in total, taken circa the early 2000s.
If you recognise (or are) any of the individuals in the images please get in touch with us at archives@newcastle.edu.au
Clear pictures of the office walls and outside would help.
Evidence is party travelled over the Sydney Harbour bridge, visited a two story licensed pub near Merewether beach.
Again clear pictures of the office walls would provide further evidence.
38 Kilgour Ave, Merewether … photos 11 to 26.
You might find your answers there.
