- Immigration of the Frank family from Germany and their settlement in Nelson.
- Early Nelson Council involvement in the community.
- Conflicts between Council, William Tyree, Rosaline Frank, their Acetylene Gas Company, and Tyree Studio.
- The UNESCO Heritage awarded Tyree photographic collection acknowledging early photographers as social historians.
