In the 1980s, the NSW Historic Houses Trust salvaged a collection of forensic crime photography, over four tonnes of photographic material, including glass plate negatives. There were no detective notes or investigation files to give context to the images. Peter Doyle, curator, conducted extensive research into the photographs, allowing the Trust to present an exhibition.
