Born in Horsham in 1910, Conrad Otto Kroker had a life-long love of photography. Known and celebrated for his nature-photography Kroker received local and international recognition for his work before passing away in Horsham on 17 June 1989. |

HRAG first acquired Kroker’s work in 1977, 6 photographs from his exhibition Nature in Colour. In 2003, Kroker’s widow, Nan, donated a series of his photographs and slides.
There is currently a project underway to digitise the collection to improve access. |
