Jan will also discuss what is special and unique about historical photos from New Guinea, why he is so committed to unearthing these collections and his efforts to share his findings with source communities. Jan will also show examples of photos he has found in his search.Jan&#x27;s presentation will be followed with Q&amp;A, then afternoon tea in the Hedley Bull atrium.
