Immediate source of acquisition:

In 1994 the National Museum of Australia transferred to the Library some material which Earl Ewers had offered first to the Mitchell Library in Sydney and then to the Museum. It consisted of documents, photographs and objects which remained after the two previous institutions had made a selection. The National Library in turn made selections of items for its manuscript and ephemera collections. Earl Ewers made a small addition to the papers in July 2003 (Series 6, Pieces 2-4) and a further addition in July 2006 (Series 6, Folder 5).
