Institute of Public Administration, 1929-1931

Component identifier:

Series 46

Content Summary:

During the 1920s State Regional Groups of the Institute of Public Administration were established in Australia. They were modelled closely on the British Institute, formed in London in 1922. Copland was a member of the Victorian Group, formed in 1929, and an occasional guest speaker at monthly meetings. A small number of I.P.A. materials occur in the collection and have been combined to form Series 46. It contains the text of several papers presented to I.P.A. meetings, notices of meetings, and correspondence between Copland and the Secretary H.E. Johnson, 1929-1931.

Immediate source of acquisition:

Lady Copland presented the personal papers of Sir Douglas Copland to the National Library in September 1973. Additions to the collection were received from the Copland Family between 1977 and 1981.

Names:
