Personal papers, 1917-88

 
Component identifier:
Series 14
Content Summary:
For much of his early career Jose kept a small notebook into which he copied quotations, jokes and anecdotes and pasted newspaper clippings, including some biographical articles. He also compiled a personal calendar of important anniversaries, maintained a notebook of literary extracts for a short time, and wrote his own satirical verse. As well as these items, this series contains Jose's school reports, information relating to club memberships, invitations, and photographs of the conductor Eugene Ormandy and Jean MacArthur (wife of General Douglas MacArthur) at a Brisbane war concert in 1944.
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.
