Physical album:
The Harris album was compiled from photographs, newspaper cuttings, programmes etc. sent to Miss Harris and her sister, Mrs Hetty Kingswell, in the United Kingdom by Mr E M (Monty) Harris, a founding staff member of the College. A few further photographs and an introductory page were added by Mr Walter Mears, the first headmaster of the College.
Digital album:
The digital album, for ease of use, has been divided into four items, each of which consists of various parts;
Item 1: Complete pages
Item 2: Multi-page documents that are contained within the album. This item allows one to browse through each document individually.
Item 3: Newspaper cuttings that were folded in the album are expanded here for full viewing.
Item 4: All 115 digitised photographs from the album, listed in the chronological order in which they appear in the album.
