- Acquisition notes
- Photos from the South Sea Evangelical Mission (SSEM) were copied by the British Museum on negative film from prints, or printed from negatives, borrowed when the SSEM was based at Lauriston, New South Wales. A 1987 loan was made to Tim Fulbright and a 1993 loan to Ben Burt of the British Museum Ethnography Department (then at the Museum of Mankind). The SSEM agreed for the photos to be copied for use by the Museum, with copying and publication by others to be authorised by the Mission. The Museum sent a set of copy prints of all the photos to the Mission when it returned the original photos.
