C.Moore Hardy - Sydney Star Observer (SSO) Collection

Fields

Description

This collection contains digitised photographs by C.Moore Hardy for the Sydney Star Observer. See Sydney Star Observer stock photographs for images released from more photographers.

C.Moore Hardy has photographed the gay and lesbian scene in Sydney since the late 1970s. After completing her studies at 3 arts schools, Hardy worked for the Sydney Star Observer as a freelance photographer, taking the first and second cover shots and contributing work until the mid 1990s.

C.Moore Hardy intentionally focused her attention on underrepresented communities in Queer subculture, including lesbians, Indigenous (First Nations), Disabled, Multiracial and multicultural and ethnic minorities. She is considered by historians as a critically important documenter of LGBTIQA+ history and of Sydney history.

C.Moore Hardy is a volunteer and a prolific donor to the City of Sydney Archives. See her special collections for more photographs.

Very little descriptive information accompanied the SSO photographs. Archives volunteers have recorded what was available. Some information has been crowd sourced from photographers or the LGBTIQA+ community. The City of Sydney welcomes additional information such as dates, places, names and events. Once logged in and you find a photograph item, you can select the suggested edits function on the TOOLS menu.

It is unclear which photographs were published in the magazine, although some have percentage signs (%) indicating the photograph size planned for publication. It is difficult to match photographs to the publication issues. Some photographs from the stock photograph library were culled by editors at various times so the collection is not complete.

Only selected photographs have been digitised and released by the City Archives. For further information please contact the City Archives.

The photographs are copyright to C.Moore Hardy. For permission to use and access to the high resolution images please contact the City Archives.
