Description: | This collection holds mainly family photographs and slides of travel undertaken by Joan Elizabeth Everest. She was born on 5 September 1916, the only child of Eric H. H. Everest and Kate Elizabeth (Toi) Scott-Miller. Her father's sister was the actress Barbara Everest, and Mount Everest was named after her ancestor Sir George Everest (1790-1866) Surveyor-General of India. Joan was cousin to J. E. B. Hill (MP), their mothers being sisters. Since John Hill and Joan shared the same maternal grandparents, there is some duplication of photographs of relatives in the two collections which the University of East Anglia holds. JH/PER/57 is a file on Joan's estate.
Joan married Henry John Anthony (Tony) Millachip. Material, mainly photographic, relating to Millachip's wartime service in the Middle East (1941-1945) and the activities of the Mountain Warfare Training Centre High Altitude Rock Climbing School, is included.
Joan Everest lived in Malaya, Kenya, and England. She died in May 1996.
The collection is contained in 10 archive boxes. | Format: | Slides | Subjects: | Travel Second World War (1939-1945) Photography Rock climbing | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | +44(0)1603 591010 | Telephone: | +44(0)1603 592421 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:7487 | Format: | Slides | Go to resource |
