The photograph album was compiled by Tony Argyle and Tony Howkins at the time of the Department of Zoology's 'reunion and wake' in late 1990 before its amalgamation with the Department of Botany. Its contents date from 1959 and include photographs of buildings and building works, staff and students (groups and individuals), vehicles, equipment, field trips and social events, as well as documents relating to Tony Argyle's employment, accident reports, extracts from the ANU Reporter, poetry, quizzes, programs and addresses. The drawing on the cover (the word Zoology spelt out in animals) is by Richard (Dick) Barwick. Loose photographs and documents are in a separate folder. Also included is the memoir, "Smyth's Department: Memories of the Department of Zoology, 1958 to 1971".
