Content Summary:
Symon entered the first Parliament as a Senator for South Australia in 1901. Material from this election and that of 1906 are included, together with correspondence from George H. Reid, John S. Clemons, John H. Keating, Henry Dobson, Edward Puleford, Simon Fraser, James T. Walker, Albert Gould, John C. Neild, Norman K. Ewing and Alexander P. Matheson.
Immediate source of acquisition:
The papers were received by the Library between 1966 and 1968 from Sir Josiah Symon's literary executor and daughter, Miss L. K. (Kilmeny) Symon. In December 1980 Sir Josiah's Commonwealth railway life pass was donated to the Library by the State Library of South Australia on behalf of a donor who was living in the house previously owned by Kilmeny Symon and had found the pass in a crack in the flooring.
