Near-complete collection of Samuel Butler's glass plate negatives, corresponding to the collection of photographic prints (mostly in albums) also held by the Library. The plates have been rehoused in conservation-grade boxes and envelopes, retaining their original arrangement; the original packaging, consisting of 'Ilford Dry Plate' cardboard boxes and paper envelopes labelled by Samuel Butler and Alfred Cathie, are also in the collection. The collection is fully catalogued on an internal database and the majority of the plates have recently undergone digitization. Please contact the Library for more information.
