Content Summary:

The papers in MS 6690 document many aspects of Jerzy Zubrzycki's career as an academic with the Australian National University and his participation in a number of organisations and government bodies. These include the Australian Ethnic Affairs Council, Australian Immigration Advisory Council, World Health Organisation Fourth World Project, Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Australians for Just Refugees Programs, National Museum of Australia and Australian Aid to Poland. The collection includes correspondence, 1983-2005, typescripts of most of Zubrzycki's books, reports, reviews and a large number of publications. Particular strengths of the collection are the records of Zubrzycki's extensive involvement with government and cultural institutions. These document the attitudes toward multiculturalism in Australia in the 1960s and 1970s.
