Scope and content
Photographs and sketches recording family history.
The collection includes portraits of generations of the Findlay family, who were related by marriage to the Schreiner, Niemeyer, Marais and other families. These include portraits of Olive Schreiner and other members of the Schreiner and Niemeyer families and their friends, and views of Fraserburg, Boshoff and family homes. There are photographs of family events and holidays.
There is an old hand-written inventory of the photographs C1-159, which corresponds fairly well to these photos in the collection, but extra items have been added and noted. The old inventory is stored in this file.
