[UMA-SRE-20140098] Papers of Mr James Robert Blaney

Description

IdentifierUMA-SRE-20140098Extent6 boxesLinear Meterage0.72Scope and ContentThis series comprises 2 main record groups: 1. Institute of Material Research (Patent applications) and 2. AUC Submissions: working papers. James Robert Blaney was the Assistant to the Vice-Principal and also the University's Accountant whilst these records were in his custody. Both roles fell under the "Office of the Vice-Principal", hence why UA278 has been ascribed as the appropriate related agency. RECORD GROUP 1: The patents include detailed information on the file cover including nature of the patent, nature of research work, status of the patent and country in which patent is operational, e.g."Imrad Patents, Extraction of Metal from Solution, Completed Specifications - Finland". The main work involved with the patents is as follows: Extraction of Metal from Solution; Collection of Oil Slicks; Extraction of Lead and Silver; Extraction of Metals from Solution Loaded Brown Coal and Removal of Pollutants from Water. Applications, legal advice, patent numbers and final patents are to be found within the files. RECORD GROUP 2: The AUC records include individual working files on given subjects, which it is assumed were then aggregated into the final applications for AUC Submission rounds (specifically the 1975-1975 Triennium). Blaney, as the University of Melbourne's Accountant, played a crucial role in submissions, specifically budget forecasting, along with Vice-Principal Marginson who appears to have been very actively involved in the process.Collection CategoryUniversity, officialAccess StatusAccess restrictions applyRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this SeriesSearch within this Series
