Curator’s notes
Production company Australasian Films had been producing documentaries since 1913 and produced the Australasian Gazette newsreel from 1913 until the 1930s. The Shell Company sponsored documentary Timber, made by Herschells Films, offers a good comparison of methods later used in the forestry industry in the late 1940s.
