The University has digitised some of its records and they are available in the archives.

https://archives-search.sydney.edu.au/

The site is not very user friendly for searching. However if you search for the keyword "physics", you will find over 2000 pages returned. Most of these have not been digitised - the ones that have, make some interesting viewing with photos and videos of many well known pwrsonalities. It's not clear what order they are in but you can start at the first of some 70 pages and click on the ones that appeal.

Included are some mug shots in the Physics Year III/IV collections

According to the preamble:

"The photograph sets were used by School of Physics academic staff to identify the students they were teaching. "

Below are head shots of those who ended up attached to - or in some way associated with - the Cosmic Ray Department.

Some of our alumni have gone on to fame (if not necearily fortune) - their exploits can be found by following the links at the bottom of this page. Also some articles about our patriarch - CBA McCusker (Brian or 'Mac').
