Correspondence, 1894-1904

 
Component identifier:
Series Box 2
Extent:
189 items
Content Summary:

Box No.2 of the Sir Baldwin Spencer papers contains 185 items, almost all letters, but including a few telegrams, sent by Gillen to Spencer.

It is not known from the box where Baldwin Spencer's letters to Gillen are to be found, but it contains a slip of paper, apparently in B.S.' writing saying - 'Gillen Diaries, Barr-Smith Library in Adelaide University'

It may therefore be that Spencer's letters are there also.

Apart from their shared anthropological interests, and the contents of the well-known 'book'(s) which they produced jointly, the letters contain material of possible interest to scholars interested in Australian history, political and economic, in the general history of anthropological studies at the turn of the 19th / 20th century, and in Irish Nationalist feelings at the same era.
