- Series 7
- Content Summary:
-
The Television Society of Australia was formed in 1954 as an independent association with an interest in all aspects of television broadcasting. Jose joined the Society in February 1955 and acted as a Council Member between 1960-65 and 1974-78, at which latter point he was made an Honorary Member. Amongst the many papers he accumulated during this time are runs of Council and ordinary meeting minutes, correspondence and membership lists. Also included here are submissions prepared by Jose on behalf of the Society to broadcasting inquiries, reports, newsletters, and papers concerning the Society's annual ‘Penguin’ awards, of which Jose was one-time Award Committee Secretary.
In addition, the series includes material documenting activities of the Society's offshoot, the Educational Television Society of Australia (of which Jose was also a member), particularly its submissions and reports to the Committee on Open University.
All folders in Series 7 are closed until 1 January 2022.
- Immediate source of acquisition:
- The collection of his papers, which comprises correspondence, reports, minutes, cuttings and associated files, was donated to the National Library in two consignments: a small carton of radio talks and written reports from Jose in 1989, followed by a larger instalment of 18 boxes from his daughter in 1991. The University of New England historian Ross Lamont undertook a preliminary sort of the latter consignment before its transfer to the Library. Together the instalments extend back to 1917 and provide some coverage of most phases of Jose's career.
