• Physical Description:
  56 photographs, 1 bundle of negative strips, 1 album of negative strips and 1 box of approx 437 slides

• Scope and Content

  Most photographs have captions on reverse

• Administrative / Biographical History

  A mixture of personal photographic prints and negatives taken by Pontecorvo (and others) which capture family celebrations and holidays, childhood photographs (these are copies which have been taken from the Pontecorvo family album-not part of this collection), and visits to the Pontecorvo Swiss Chalet in St Luc.

  Most are not originals-they are prints from prints or prints from negatives. It is likely that they were used for a display at the Pontefest memorial (these ones tend to have coloured stickers on the reverse) and ended up being placed alongside Pontecorvo's personal photograph collection by his daughter, Lisa, after the memoiral.
