The series contains handwritten and typed notes for hundreds of speeches made by Latham, mostly in the period 1930-1960. They are generally dated. In addition, there are some extracts and reprints from Hansard and other printed speeches.
Most of the political series and some other series contain pencilled notes for speeches.
- Immediate source of acquisition:
- The bulk of the collection was presented to the National Library by Sir John Latham in December 1963, a few months before his death. In November 1974 the Library purchased some further papers from a secondhand book dealer. They comprised family letters and photographs, some diaries and papers relating to the High Court. These papers have been amalgamated into the original collection.
