Component identifier:
Series 18
Content Summary:

The Good Neighbour Movement was established by the Commonwealth Government in 1950 as an autonomous volunteer organisation intended to assist with the assimilation, integration and settlement of immigrants. The state Councils, including the Good Neighbour Council of Victoria, were conceived of as coordinating bodies.

In this series, Spiro Moraitis' involvement in the Good Neighbour Council is seen in his close connection with George Papadopoulos. For example, in 1975 they jointly wrote an article for the AGWS newsletter Greek Action Bulletin responding to criticism of the Council. Drafts and published copies of the article are included here.

The papers also include copies of the GNC newsletter, budgetary/financial documents, press releases, meeting minutes and notices, and quarterly and annual reports.

Immediate source of acquisition:
The collection was donated to the Library by Spiro Moraitis in 2002.
