The Frank Corley Project presented by Dennis Peel of the Annerley-Stephens History Group

Come and join us as Dennis Peel speaks about Frank Corley, a commercial photographer who photographed almost every house in Brisbane as he drove past in his Cadillac in the early 1970’s. His wife developed the prints in a van that they had converted to a darkroom and then a team of door-to-door salespeople would sell the photos packaged in a cardboard calendar priced at 85 cents.

Before Frank passed away he bequeathed the remaining photos in the collection to the John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland.

In 2014 Annerley-Stephens History Group began the project of identifying the photos in the collection.

Where: Toowong Library, top floor, Toowong Village.
Time: 9.30am till 12pm

Please stay afterwards and join the members for morning tea.

ALL are welcome!!
