General correspondence and papers, 1930-98

Component identifier:

Series 1

Content Summary:

Tscharke corresponded widely with family, friends and colleagues from both within the Lutheran Church and from the numerous organisations he was associated with over the years. This series comprises mainly personal correspondence and papers. Material has been kept in files as created by Tscharke, and includes family letters, financial papers, notes and drafts of addresses given by Tscharke, obituaries of family members, and miscellaneous items.

The bulk of the material contained in Folder 1 was produced during the period 1946-47, and contains a number of letters from the Tscharkes to their family in Australia, which provide a very good insight into their early days in New Guinea. A small amount of personal correspondence may also be found in Series 2 and Series 3.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers were donated by Dr Edwin Tscharke in two installments, one in December 1997, and a small addition in December 1998.
