File 3

Content Summary:

Much of the correspondence is concerned with a copyright dispute between Carey and Deborah Rogers (his literary agent) and Meril Yule and Frank Thompson of Queensland University Press. The letters are mostly incoming, with only a few copies of Carey's replies.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The initial instalment of papers was acquired from Carey in 1984, under the Taxation Incentives for the Arts Scheme. In August 2001, the Library purchased privately one volume of Carey's business correspondence and in October 2001 it purchased at auction eight notebooks containing working notes for ideas for novels and short stories.
