It is unclear what happened to the photographs after Enid's death in 1941. The photographs were discovered by Ronald Ridley in a departmental storeroom at The University of Melbourne. Ronald Ridley used the materials while researching Jessie Webb, a close friend of Enid Derham. Materials in the series were received by the University of Melbourne Archives with an accession from Ronald Ridley (1993.0157) on 31/1/1994. Photographs relating to Enid Derham were separated from the accession on 13/10/2011 and given a separate accession number.Collection CategoryUniversity, individualsAccess StatusOpen for public accessRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this Series
