Research and responses

The logo for Kodak changed in 1971, and documentation attached with the film box display the logo that first appeared in 1961. Photo was therefore most likely taken between these years. [BFS 11/07/2017]

In the supporting documentation there are the original boxes of film for the collection, some of which have been assigned letters from A to V by Aked. These letters have been noted, where available, in 'Primary Documentation' and correspond to slips of paper contained within the envelope titled 'Colour Slides Lists.' These provide some details on the content and locations of the photographs, although they appear to have been written retrospectively and contain some speculation. [BFS 11/07/2017]
