This archive of images was put together by the late Professor A. L. Basham (1914-1986) during his tenure as professor and head of the department of Oriental (later Asian) civilizations at ANU (1965-1979). He helped set up the Faculty of Oriental (later Asian) Studies at ANU and played a pioneering role in teaching and research in this area. His book The Wonder that Was India (London: Sidgwick and Jackson, 1954) became a signal study in the field. Basham undertook extensive fieldwork in India and studied several classical Indian languages.

Upon his retirement, the erstwhile Department of Art History at ANU inherited his extensive collection of 35-mm slides, each slide accompanied by an index card with Basham’s typewritten (and sometimes handwritten) notes on the image. As the archive reveals, Basham had a deep interest in art and visual culture as an essential aspect of historical study, and was an accomplished photographer. These images represent an important ingredient in the historiography of ‘classical’ civilization in Asia, variously carried out by scholars working within and outside the region in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The Australian National Time Service at Mount Stromlo Observatory engages in pure research and sends out time signals which are used for the correction of clocks and as a frequency standard for the determination of exact locations in geodetic and cartographic work, as well as for southern ocean navigation. The Time Service researches, primarily, into problems connected with the motions of the earth and their seasonal and occasional determination. The Photographic Zenith Tube (PZT) is an instrument that checks the time by astronomical means, recording the passages of stars close to the zenith. The PZT was brought into regular use at the Mount Stromlo Observatory from March/April 1957. The last plate observed was on 27 August 1985. The records in this series comprise PZT observing data, Positional Astronomy (National Time Service) day books, minutes of meetings, correspondence, subject files, as well as photographs, diagrams and drawings.

The 41 black and white photographs were taken by the Commonwealth Department of Information and are endorsed with a single number with L prefix so are closely related to a National Archives' series of photographs (CRS A1200).
