Photography 



Cameras are supplied to all Divisions and District Offices for record purposes. 



Two professional photographers cover the procuring of activity photographs 

 which are used for all departmental publications, in Sylva, and for distribution to 

 newspapers and periodicals (news and technical), across the Province. 



A complete cross-indexed filing system is maintained for all photographs. 

 Photographs are indexed under each Divisional activity. 



In the year 1949 over 13,000 8 x 10 prints were processed in this section. In 

 1950 this was nearly doubled with 25.000 prints being turned out. 



This section has also undertaken the cataloguing of 35 mm. film slides for use 

 in the public relations activities of the Department. 



16 mm. colour motion films are being produced, the first one — completely 

 photographed by Department personnel — being "Out of the Smoke", issued in 1950.
