Further treatment occurred in 1995-1996 when SLNSW Preservation Branch rebound the album. Transferred from Mitchell Manuscripts (D 390) in 1991. The drawings are dated from the period the Lowe's were in Australia, from 1842-1850. Many pages house several drawings. Nelson's Bay is now called Bronte. No. 5 is titled on mount in Georgiana Lowe's hand, ""Native climbing a gum tree"" No. 72b has been identified as Tempe House after comparison with Elyard, Tempe and Harris (Mitchell Library SSV/1A).
