Content Summary:

This file comprises photocopies of correspondence, newspaper clippings, black and white, and colour photographs, family history, and painted portraits and artwork (in particular photocopied portraits by William Dobell of Frank Clune and Thelma Clune, and by William Dargie of Western Arrernte artist Albert Namatjira).

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by the Library from the University of New South Wales in 1992, when the University rationalised its holdings of unpublished material.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).
