The PMI had a close working relationship with the Prahran Technical School (PTS). The collection is unique in that is a complete archive of a Victorian technical school spanning from it’s establishment in 1915 to it’s evolution as a college of Advanced education in 1974 with a separate school of TAFE in 1975. The records include council minutes, principal’s correspondence, cash books, student records, course information, publicity, student magazines, staff records and photographs. The purpose of the photographic collection is unknown but it is likely to have been used to promote the activities of the school possibly as block images for inclusion into published prospectuses. Similar images from earlier dates can be found on a school prospectus held by the Stonnigton Archives. While the collection is undated we can presume it to be from the 1930s. The collection was donated by the Prahran Mechanics Institute to Deakin University Archives which had existing collections of records relating to the PTS. Student made work could be purchased by the public, but the records reveal they were more commonly purchased by the students themselves. Deakin University Archives also holds applications for purchase and sale dockets for such works. Scanned images of plate glass negatives held in Deakin University Archives' Burwood repository.
