Separated Material:

Gordon Griffiths - whose father was Ken Griffiths, member of the SSEM Sydney Advisory Council, chairman of the SSEM Board of Directors, and the person to locate the site for the SSEM's new field in Papua New Guinea, and who is Florence Young's great-grandnephew - gave Patricia Braga permission to deposit these maps, which came from the SSEM Archive, with the National Library of Australia. As at January 2020, the SSEM Archive is housed at the Iliffe Centre, Macquarie Park, New South Wales. Internal notes indicate that these maps were taken from Box 10 in the SSEM Archive.
