Hannan Photographic Archive

The Hannan Archive was donated to the University of Newcastle in June 2014. It includes over a million photographic materials showcasing Newcastle and the Hunter Region throughout the second half of the twentieth century. The Archive covers an era from the mid-1950s until 2010s.

The collection provides insight into the region’s social and cultural history and lived experiences. Therefore extra care is given by conservation, archives and the GLAMx lab to document and preserve original negatives and their historical context as they provide important records of Newcastle’s past and its evolution into the new century.
