History Trust of South AustraliaTime for a happy dance! We’re quite excited about GovHack taking place in #Adelaide this weekend. To celebrate Peter has turned some of the Bond Studio Collection into GIFs. We’ll be sharing them...

Bond Store CollectionThe Bond Studios Glass Negatives Collection comprises 1,500 glass negatives from Bond Studios in Port Adelaide. AE Bond was listed as a photographer in Commercial Road, Port Adelaide from 1901, although state collections include photographs credited to Bond that date back to 1867. In the 1930s the business shifted to St Vincent Street. The negatives are studio portraits of generations of Portonians. They capture individual rites of passage such as weddings, graduations, debuts, birthdays, and soldiers and sailors departing for war. Most of the negatives are labelled with surnames so it is possible to identify the subjects with further research.
