Scope and content

Incomplete sequence of negatives taken for The Observer newspaper and Observer magazine between 1987 and 1993. This series is arranged chronologically, rather than by subject, with each film labelled with an individual index number. In most cases a photographer credit and brief description of the film contents is labelled on the negative sleeves. Some boxes contain file cards where negatives have been removed from the sequence for other use. In these examples it is presumed that the cards indicate negatives which have now been 'lost' or returned to the photographer at the time of assignment. All negatives are 35mm. Includes work by; Mike King, John Wildgoose, Richard Mildenhall, Sue Adler, Dod Miller, Roger Hutchings and Neil Libbert.
The individual negatives within the series are not yet catalogued.
