Content Summary:

Fisher was a keen amateur photographer, and this series consists largely of his photographs and photographic albums. All stages of his life are depicted, including his early years in Scotland. The largest group of photographs records the visit to Australia by a delegation of British Labour parliamentarians in 1913. There is also a presentation volume of portrait photographs of all the Federal Labor Members who served with Fisher. It was presented on the eve of his departure for London in December 1915.

Copies of some of the official photographs found in this series can also be found on PictureAustralia. The war related items can also be viewed in the Australian War Memorial collection database.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers were donated to the Library in several instalments by Fisher's family between 1961 and 1990.
