Content Summary:

A typical file in this alphabetical sequence includes copies of research material (taken from books, articles and primary sources), press cuttings, notes and letters seeking information from librarians, archivists and descendants of the person Clune was researching. Sometimes there are also drafts of the works he wrote based on his research, but the great bulk of the contents of the subject files is not original.

Immediate source of acquisition:

In the course of a long association with Frank Clune beginning in 1951, the Library acquired some manuscripts and diaries from time to time. These are shelved at MS 407, 457, 463, 501 and 724. The first major instalment of Clune's papers (MS 4951) was purchased after his death from his son, Terry. The other son, Tony, added books and other items between 1983 and 1996. Amongst these donations was Ben Hall's revolver, acquired in 1985. See information on the revolver following Box 92. The second major component of the Clune Papers was purchased by the Library from the University of New South Wales in 1992, when the University rationalised its holdings of unpublished material. Clune's 'library' had been purchased by the University, which retained the published component (see 'Other holdings' below).
