Glass Plate Negatives by A A Rollings of Sorell Area
Glass plate photographic images of scenery, people, and places primarily in the Sorell area taken by A A Rollings. The group and portrait plates provide excellent detail of clothing and hairstyles of the period. The indexes in series NS3929 should be referred to for possible detail/titles of some of the unidentified images. While NS3929 is not a direct index for NS1553, it does index photographs that were made from some of the items in NS1553.
Details on the origin of the glass plates in this series can be found in Tanner, Robert 'The Rollings Photos' in Pitt Water Chronicles, Vol 2, May 2017. These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives.
