Catalogue Contents
Identification photographs seemingly taken on joining the prison service. Each is a black and white photographic negative showing a pair of views of the subject's head and torso from left and right; each picture includes a name and a date plus, occasionally, the word Durham or the acronym NEPO (New Entrant Prison Officer). Earlier examples are in uniform, later ones in civilian clothes.
Nos. 1-29 are pre-war, from the 1930s, and are in a number of formats. The rest are mostly in one of two formats: 1945 to c.1972 138mm x 87mm; c.1972 to 1986 127mm x 100mm.
