James Conner collection

A Celebration of Vanuatu: Vanuatu materials in the ANU Archives

James Conner donated a collection of images of Vanuatu he collected with Jennifer Taylor for their book, Architecture in the South Pacific: The Ocean of Islands. Many of these images were not included in the final publication. These photographs highlight public and private architecture in Vanuatu, and local building techniques. The entire slide collection has been digitised, and can be viewed here: https://openresearch-repository.anu.edu.au/handle/1885/196815
