Geelong & District: A Sepia Album of Historic Photographs 1838–1988 by John Reid, with photography edited by Ian Hawthorne, is a commemorative volume published in 1988 to mark the 150th anniversary of Geelong's founding. This 160-page hardcover book presents a curated collection of sepia-toned photographs that chronicle the evolution of Geelong and its surrounding districts from its establishment in 1838 through to the late 20th century. The images capture a wide array of subjects, including early streetscapes, public buildings, industrial sites, and scenes of everyday life, offering readers a visual narrative of the region's development. Produced in association with the Australian Bicentennial Authority and the Geelong City Council, the album serves as both a historical record and a tribute to the community's rich heritage. Its evocative imagery and informative captions provide valuable insights for historians, residents, and anyone interested in the cultural legacy of Victoria's second-largest city.
