[1] Christina Livingston was born on 28 December 1862 at 8 King's Road, Chelsea, London, the seventh of eight children of Scottish parents.

Christina and Winifred continued to photograph notable buildings, and people in informal and formal scenes,[2] outdoors, a rare sight given the amount of equipment needed.

[2] In the 1920s and 1930s, her work was featured in publications such as the Daily Sketch,[9] the Illustrated London News, The Tatler, The Sphere and Country Life.

Christina and Winifred were themselves photographed at the Mayor's reception, Fulham Town Hall in 1934, and at The Boat Race in 1936.

[10] On 17 December 2009, a collection of some 2,000 of her photographs, mainly of military subjects, was to be offered for sale by auction at Sotheby's in London.

[3] The University of Birmingham referenced Broom's work within a 2017 retrospective on Käthe Buchler, a female German photographer, capturing life at home, during World War One in 2019.

The photographs and films that were curated by Jenny Brownrigg were by Mary Ethel Muir Donaldson, Helen Biggar, Violet Banks, Beatrice Garvie, Jenny Gilbertson, Isabel Frances Grant, Ruby Grierson, Marion Grierson, Isobel Wylie Hutchison, Johanna Kissling, Isabell Burton-MacKenzie, Margaret Fay Shaw and Margaret Watkins.

[14] Broom was one of a record number of women commemorated by English Heritage blue plaques in 2024, alongside others including Diana Beck, Irene Barclay and Adelaide Hall.
