Correspondence, 1940-2004

Containers:

Box 1

Component identifier:

Series 1

Content Summary:

Although Fanning met the correspondents in This series through working in the National Library, they became friends and the letters that she kept are mostly private or semi-private. The correspondence often extended well into her retirement. The files that she created mostly contain letters, but there are also notes and cuttings about some of the individuals. There is therefore a degree of overlap with the files in Series 2.

Correspondents in the two Files of miscellaneous letters include Sir John Crawford, Bobbie Maple-Brown, Manning Clark, UrsulaHoff, Pat Tillyard, Janey Marshall, Dorothy Green, Ros Kelly, David Fairbairn, Leonie Baxter, Grenfell Rudduck, Lady Ferguson, Betty Ferguson, Hilda Abbott, Lady Bailey, Clyde Cameron, C.K. Bliss, Phyllis Mander-Jones, Jean Ross, Lady Copland and Hazel De Berg. Explanatory notes by Fanning are attached to several of the letters.

The letters of Marcie Muir are restricted until 2025 and the letters of Russell Cope are restricted during his lifetime.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers were donated to the Library by Pauline Fanning in October 2000. Further papers were added in February 2006. Consignments were also received in 2011 and 2013.
