If I were you, I'd be on the phone to the University of Sydney's history department ASAP.The films have been shot in Northern Australia and were acquired through private sale. The seller not knowing anything about the items they were selling. Believes the only thing of possible interest was that the rusted tins would be Kodak memorabilia. Their contents which were ultra hard to release revealed to be quite a horrific but interesting find. I own a small pro lab in Sydney and have gotten the film stored in a fireproof containment at the moment until I figure out what is the best thing to do with them.
Your uploaded picture came and went. I think you had better call a lawyer.
Stephen -
My approach would be to take the following steps ASAP:
1. Contact the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra (www.nfsa.gov.au) and tell them what you have;
2. Depending upon what the NFSA says, and upon whether you want to retain any sort of claim yourself to these films, speak to a private criminal lawyer who can help you in your dealings with the police;
3. Contact the police - probably the AFP in Canberra in the first instance rather than the state guys;
4. Don't post any footage or stills here or elsewhere on the internet until you have done the above - if the police decide this stuff is important to them, they are unlikely to have much of a sense of humour.
