Interdepartmental Committee on Television Film Production and related files, 1950-69

Component identifier:

Series 10

Content Summary:

The first meeting of the Interdepartmental Committee on Television Film Production was held in September 1962, to examine the capacity of the Australian film industry to produce programs suitable for television. Jose served as the Australian Broadcasting Control Board representative on the Committee, whose minutes of meetings are located in this series. Also filed here are Committee working papers and a folder of newspaper clippings about, and correspondence with, the Australian Film Producers Association.

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.
