Considering the expenses that photography meant in the 1930s (and to a lesser extent in 1959-60), the excavation produced a very significant photographic record covering all season, and running into several hundred photographs.

The Jesuits produced a photographic album for the various seasons of excavation and the various finds, with detailed captions (and negative numbers, for cross-referencing!), providing a fascinating visual record of the dig.

We are also privileged to still house the original glass plate negatives from the excavation, and a meticulous Catalogue de négatifs. The negatives of our collection have already been digitised over the last ten years by Fr Jean-Michel de Tarragon OP, of the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem, who has had the foresight to collect and digitise various historic photographic collections in Jerusalem.
