Beautiful photos. If it weren't for the writing on them with the subjects' details, I'd never have guessed they were mugshots…especially the first one.
IIRC, there's was a book of Australian mugshots and crime scenes available (pretty sure I saw it at the museum bookstore). Also, if you like mugshots and such, check out 'Least Wanted' on Flickr. He has had a book out for a while.
They are all contact prints from plate negatives. They look amazing - the museum is particularly interesting and open for academic study of the work. I've been there several times.
