Title Laurie Richards Photographic Collection
Creator Contributors
Abstract/Description Part of the Laurie Richards negative collection. Created during his career as a commercial photographer throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The collection is made up of approximately 28,000 images relating to early Melbourne television and radio. Richards' photography captures many well-known Australian celebrities and international visitors. The Performing Arts Collection acquired the collection in 1991 from Henk Rem, a former employee who took over Richard's business in 1976. It is possible that some images within the Laurie Richards Collection were taken by his employees.
