Rennie Ellis Collection Appeal
The State Library of Victoria Foundation seeks your support to purchase the Rennie Ellis Collection.
This extraordinary archive of images by the celebrated Melbourne photographer Rennie Ellis is a valuable record of Victorian life and culture in the late 20th century.
Ellis's photographs encompass social history and politics, the nightclub scene and parties, popular culture, sport and portraiture. They record Melbourne's diverse street life, with significant series on Toorak Road, grafitti sites, festivals and markets.
His subjects include celebrities and socialites; artists, actors, writers and musicians; shopkeepers, politicians and activists; migrants, families and ordinary people in the suburbs.
The Library will ensure this unique collection of images is preserved for the future and made freely available to researchers and the general public.
To give you a taste of Rennie Ellis's work, we've collated some of his photographs of ordinary people out and about around Melbourne.
