Tyree Studio

William's younger brother Frederick worked for the studio infrequently before establishing himself in Tākaka in 1889.

[5] Rose finally sold the business in 1947 aged 82, 61 years after she began work there as an assistant to the Tyree brothers, to Cecil Manson.

[6][7] Frank retained the large collection of glass plate negatives from the business after she sold it, and donated them shortly before her death in 1954 to the Nelson Historical Society.

In 1973 the society donated approximately 105,000 surviving glass plate negatives from the Tyree Studio to the Nelson Provincial Museum who holds them as part of their large photographic collection.

In 2017 UNESCO's Memory of the World Trust included the Tyree photo collection on New Zealand's documentary heritage register.
