COLLECTION | Out of the box - approximately 200-300 photographs
Collected between 2001 - 2006, some of these pictures document a side of Newcastle that is changing as well as no longer in existence.

COLLECTOR | Peter Lankas
Painter, photographer, and art educator (painting and drawing) at Newcastle Art School.
On the personal significance of the collection, Peter Lankas writes: "These pictures were collected for my Masters in Fine Art research conducted between 2002 - 2005 and were extensively used in my painting practice during the time as well as continuing to be resource material for me as well as my students, these days I share them around."
