This part of the collection contains mainly black and white photographs of various sizes, from the late 19th and early 20th centuries but also includes some colour photographs from the 1980s. The early photographs display some of Peter Freyer's leisure pursuits in India, such as tennis and big game hunting. Others show Indian buildings, for example his house in Benares and the Golden Temple there. Some photographs are of family members, his home in Harley St and dinners attended in London. The groups of photographs that post date Peter Freyer, include photographs of his portrait in St Peter's Hospital, gravestone inscriptions from Clifden cemetery, an exhibition of his memorabilia at UCG, the Freyer symposium at UCG and 46 and 27 Harley St taken by Graeme Heap in 1987.
