[UMA-SRE-20140070] Outwards Correspondence Written by or Sent Over the Name of Mr. Ferguson

Description

IdentifierUMA-SRE-20140070Extent2 boxesLinear Meterage0.24Scope and ContentThe volumes are arranged chronologically. Within the volumes the correspondence is chronologically accumulated in divisions dictated by the destination of the correspondence. Thus all correspondence directed, for example, to the Department of Economic History is accumulated chronologically as is correspondence directed to the Department of English etc. Enhanced listings of specific subject matter were completed in August 2014. Correspondence to other areas within the administration is not divided according to a standard pattern, each volume containing slightly different area delineations. Most correspondence relates to internal Melbourne University departments, however, there is also some correspondence sent to external organisations within the folders Subjects covered include salary variations, appointment of staff, notification of payment of claims on the university by staff, advice about sabbatical leave, conference expenses, removal fees, honorariums paid to staff, banking,purchase of equipment and acknowledgement of applications and so on. The information held on these files may well be accumulated elsewhere, for instance, on personnel files. N.B. - some documents were sent to Max Ferguson for his reference (i.e. he is a cc. to some of the correspondence) but in most cases, he is the originator, author or direct recipient of the records. For this reason, the subject matter also provides a good snapshot concerning the broad nature of Ferguson's various roles at the time. Control symbols: March 1964 - December 1965 Additional format note: Originally the correspondence was maintained in 3 arch lever binders marked 'correspondence'. The material has been removed from the binders for storage and conservation purposes. The collection now comprises 6 manila folders in two T1 archive boxes (3 folders per box). Conservation: The quality of paper used is very low. Prior to the removal from the lever files, some damage had been caused by overfilling and from broken clasps. Some deteriorated adhesive tape is present. Staples and paper clips were removed in August 2014 when the boxes were checked prior to transfer to UMA.Collection CategoryUniversity, officialAccess StatusAccess restrictions applyRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this Series
