Content Summary:

Petherick was invited by Alfred McMicken to a meeting on 29 May 1912 to form the Library Association of Victoria. The invitation, correspondence between McMicken and Petherick (1912-1915), the Association's objects and by-laws, annual reports for 1912 and 1913, and press cuttings form this small series.

This series comprises Items 1-72.

Immediate source of acquisition:
Edward Augustus Petherick presented his collection of books, pamphlets, manuscripts, maps and pictures relating to Australia and the Pacific to the Commonwealth Parliament in 1909 as the 'Nucleus of an historical museum'. The agreement between Petherick and the Library Committee was formalized by the Petherick Act, which was passed by the Commonwealth Parliament in 1911.
