Most of the catalogues of the numerous art exhibitions that Plimsoll visited have been filed in Series 14-21, as they help to document his cultural activities as Ambassador, High Commissioner and Governor of Tasmania. The remainder have been placed in this series. The majority date from 1965-73 and relate to exhibitions in Australia, but there are also a few for overseas exhibitions. (6 files)

- Immediate source of acquisition:
- Sir James Plimsoll, who died on 8 May 1987, bequeathed his papers and books to the National Library. Following intervention by the Department of Foreign Affairs, the executors were informed that some of the papers were Commonwealth records and others were records of the Tasmanian Government. Consequently, the papers were transferred to the Australian Archives for detailed examination. It was finally determined that 149 boxes would come to the National Library, four boxes would be sent to the Tasmanian State Archives, and the remaining boxes would be retained by the Australian Archives. The papers were received by the National Library in March 1990.
