Series 1

Content Summary:

Files assembled by Glastonbury in 1979-1989 while researching the history of the public service in Papua New Guinea. Glastonbury hoped to write a monograph on the topic, but was unable to complete the project.

The files contain photocopies of articles and chapters, newspaper cuttings, photographs, reports, theses, and copies of documents copied from the Australian Archives, Queensland State Archives, National Library of Australia, Papua New Guinea National Archives and other repositories. Interspersed with this material are meticulous notes, drafts, summaries of readings and bibliographic references kept by Glastonbury. The papers date from about 1883 until 1989.

The headings in the file list below are based upon the headings on file dividers used by Glastonbury. The original order of material within files has been maintained.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The Glastonbury Papers were donated by Rosa Glastonbury, the wife of Dudley Glastonbury, under the Taxation Incentives for the Arts Scheme in 1992.
