Description

IdentifierUMA-SRE-20070016Extent5 boxesLinear Meterage0.85Scope and ContentCorrespondence with the Federal Secretariat, State divisions and branches of the Liberal Party. This series of correspondence was maintained by J M (Malcolm) Fraser, initially as Leader of the Opposition and then as Prime Minister. It covers the period from March 1975 to December 1982 (three months before the Fraser Government was defeated in the March 1983 election), although some earlier papers are included. Papers relating to the Liberal Party's Executive originated from the Federal Secretariat and include Federal Council papers, minutes of meetings, reports, circulars, general correspondence and the Federal Director (Tony Eggleton)'s correspondence. The main part of the series is arranged more or less lexicographically by state or territory, with separate files for each state division, their various leaders and branches. A small number of files deal specifically with Liberal Party organisation and liaison, its Policy Review Committee and Federal Women's Committee. Others include papers relating to state conferences, the Australian Constitutional Convention in Perth (1978), sand mining on Fraser Island, Aborginal affairs, legislation etc. Some items are currently held at the National Archives of Australia (see list for details). Formerly National Archives of Australia series M1342.Archival HistoryThis series was arranged and described by the NAA Prime Ministers’ Papers Project undertaken in September 2005 and November 2006 and this original order is retained.
