- Two paper folding envelopes for holding film and/or developed prints - one is Kodak and one is from Wallace Heaton Ltd., a developing studio in London England. Both wallets fold open to show two open-sided pouches where either films or prints could be slotted and have advertising for other services/products printed on them. The Kodak wallet is predominantly white and blue, has a small slip of paper that appears to have “13/5/30 [?] Winton” and several numbers written on it in pencil, several numbers written in pencil on the left-hand side inside, and “Scotland / Negatives of Pete’s Scotland” written in black ink by Catharine Whyte on the front cover. The Wallace Heaton wallet is predominantly grey and black with a picture of two women looking at a photo album on the front cover, a slip of paper that appears to be a receipt for the Browns Hotel made out to “Nice Esq” tucking inside, “Scotland / Nice Esq / egative Scotland 1930” written in different hands on the back [everything except “Nice Esq” written by Catharine Whyte].

- 31 individual Moiré filters in wax paper envelopes with instruction manuals in a repurposed Ansco Photographic Paper box. Filters are in various patterns and shapes and are coloured either black, pink, yellow, or teal.Moiré filters were used in developing photographs to create textured blocks of colour in order to enhance printed images, usually in advertisement. Moiré patterns are made by overlapping fine-line patterns (such as pinstripes) that are offset from each other at a slight angle - these patterns will appear and disappear depending on the resolution they appear in.
