Component identifier:

Subseries 2B

Content Summary:

This correspondence was kept by Dame Joan in five expanding files. The material has been maintained in alphabetical order in five separate groupings to reflect this original order. Correspondence in Files 45 to 48 was loose and has been arranged according to the identity of the sender. Correspondence and other material relating to the Victorian School of Art and the Australian Opera has been extracted and included in Series 13.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The original consignment of the collection was donated to the Library by Dame Joan Sutherland and her family in 1994 in two parts. The first part arrived at the Library in February 1994 and consisted of papers from Dame Joan's Melbourne home. The second part arrived at the Library in October 1994 and included papers from her weekend home at Flinders. To retain the archival history of the collection, a note at each Series level identifies what material was included in each original consignment part. The second consignment of the collection was donated to the Library in 1997.
