- Content Summary:
- Dargie served as an advisor to this committee for its first two meetings (1964 - 1966), then later as a member (1966 onwards). The series consists of the agenda, minutes and briefing papers for meetings of the committee from the first meeting in 1964 to the fourteenth meeting in 1971. There is also the agenda for the first meeting of the AWM Gallery Committee (1975) which appears to have superseded the Art Advisory Committee. (There are no minutes or agendas for the final two meetings of the Art Advisory Committee - the 15th and 16th meetings). There are AWM Annual Reports for years ending June 30 1966 - 1969 inclusive, and for 1971. There is a small amount of correspondence dating from 1962 - 1973, chiefly arrangements for meetings, but also from WR Lancaster, Director of AWM concerning commissioning and purchasing of art works, acquisitions, details for paintings. There are some typed copies of replies. There are a small number of photographs of war scenes related to details of paintings.
