Maslyn Williams map collection. (1935)
Collection of maps, mainly diazo prints, showing location of massacres, administration districts, patrol districts, oil drilling and missions. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights.
These maps relate to research work associated with Maslyn Williams' film work in New Guinea and in particular Map number 10 (North West patrol. Map to illustrate Patrol Report No 2 of 1955/56) concerns the making of the film New Guinea Patrol that was released in 1958. This Australian government sponsored film, produced by Williams and directed by Peter Dimond, followed the 70-day patrol led by James Sinclair, with Albert Speer as medical officer, into the 'inhospitable mountains' north-west of the newly established Tari Station. It was screened widely in the USA and won the Senate Gold medal at the Festival de Popoli film festival in Florence, Italy, in 1960.
