[2019.0109] MARGARET SIMONS RESEARCH PAPERS AND RECORDINGS FOR MALCOLM FRASER MEMOIR

Description

IdentifierUMA-ACE-20190109Extent7 boxesLinear Meterage0.84Scope and ContentThe papers and audio recordings contained in this acquisiton were created and compiled by Simons when researching and co-writing Malcolm Fraser: The Political Memoirs, Miegunyah Press, 2010.
The papers consist of several notebooks used by Simons to record conversations [predominately in shorthand] with Mr Fraser and others interviewed. Some notebooks correspond to audio recordings also contained here. Many of the notebooks have been repurposed, so they include content not relevant to the memoir.
The accompanying files consist of photocopied and annotated documents from a variety of sources, but mainly from the Fraser papers at the University of Melbourne Archives and the National Archives of Australia.
The audio files contain discussions between Dr Simons and Mr Fraser of the issues represented in the archival documents and thematic questions and answers. The audio files are unedited and include the people and sounds of daily life which were happening during the interviews.Collection CategoryUniversity, individualsAccess StatusOpen for public accessRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this AccessionSearch within this Accession
