These photos from Coalfields Local History Association Inc. that were taken by Alexander Galloway (1876–1945), who had photographic studios in Cessnock, Kurri Kurri, Maitland and Weston in New South Wales, Australia. These images was scanned from the original glass negative, which is held by the Coalfields Local History Association, based at the Sir Edgeworth David Memorial Museum at Abermain, NSW.

 
Unfortunately, many of the negatives had been damaged by water, but enough survive for us to see our ancestors through the lens of a truly talented photographer.
