10.01.2022 Yesterday we had a very busy day at the Pioneer Village, we had 5 High School students and members of our History group. Eric Victor from Brisbane an expert in photography, was heading the workshop on how to care for our glass negatives and a box full from the Lindenberg brothers Clive & Wayne. Thanks to David Seeto also an expert in this field came later and took these photos and videos to put up on our page. It was a very productive and interesting day learning how to clean, scan & the correct way to pack them up for storage. I would like to thank Clive & Wayne for trusting us with their negatives, there is so much local history here.
