Between 2014–2016, THA undertook a program of digitization of Scene Books from the JC Williamson collection held by Scenic Studios, Preston. The collection comprises thousands of images of JCW sets, backdrops, scenic details, lighting rigs etc. stretching back to the end of the nineteenth century.

 

JCW Scene Book 3

JCW Scene Book 1

This is an unused SHARE REGISTER for the SISTERS GOLD MINING COMPANY. Dimensions: 51 x 38 x 10 The dates range from 1902 to 1931. Beside each image information on the production is hand- and/or type-written - eg. the artist, the condition of the cloth or border, etc. Several photos are pasted onto a narrow central strip - possibly these are Sydney productions.
