Rev. Hamilton Aikin

Aikin was ordained by the Presbyterian Church of England in 1933, and came to Sydney Australia in 1942. He was the director of Australian religious Film Society's Visual Education Department from 1943 to 1956, and the Director of the Stewardship and Promotion Department of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria from 1956-1962. He used photographs of the Australian Aboriginals to illustrate his articles in Outreach, a journal published by the Social Sciences Department of the Presbyterian Church. Many of his photographs were exhibited to make the missionary and service work of the Australian Inland Mission public. His film The Living World (1954) focuses on the Bible in Palestine, New Hebrides, the UK, America and Central Australia.
