The photographic collection of the State Library of Queensland has many old photographs of Brisbane from the period of Statehood to Federation.    The photographs in this collection are indexed on old maps and are accessed by links at the top and bottom of this page.    The photographs are represented by symbols on the maps and are hyperlinked to the State Library of Queensland's server.   The year span represented on the buttons indicate the period when the collection of photographs on these maps were taken.  

The maps have certain symbols which denote whether the picture is of a place, location, a streetscape or panorama and the general direction of the streetscape or panorama.

   This symbol represents a picture of a place or location taken in the proximity of this symbol on the map.  

    These symbols represent streetscapes or panoramas taken from approximately this location and the direction of the arrowhead represents the approximate direction of the photograph.

By positioning your pointer on this symbol and clicking will reveal a photo from the State Library of Queensland's collection.  At certain times of the day this server is slow due to the demands of the internet and if a picture fails to appear keep persisting until the server is able to cope.
