Abstract
The Poignant collection of more than 17,500 photographs and associated archival material
reflects the work of Axel Poignant (1906–1986), who established his career as a portrait
photographer in Australia, and the anthropologist Roslyn Poignant (1927–2019).
Bequeathed by Roslyn to the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA), Cambridge
upon her death in 2019, the collection came into the care of MAA in 2021.
