- Series 14
- Content Summary:
- Else-Mitchell was actively involved in the administration of libraries at the national, State and local level for many years. In 1986 he was awarded the Redmond Barry Award by the Library Association of Australia for outstanding service to Australian libraries. This series contains correspondence, speeches, cuttings, newsletters and National Library Council papers on miscellaneous library matters. Other library papers can be found in Series 15 (State Library of New South Wales), Series 16 (National Library of Australia), Series 17 (Australian Advisory Council on Bibliographical Services) and Series 36 (ACT Library Service).
- Immediate source of acquisition:
- Justice Else-Mitchell first placed papers in the National Library in 1981. He had earlier donated a considerable quantity of papers to the Mitchell Library in Sydney but decided that the later papers documenting his involvement in a range of national organisations should be in the National Library. Further papers were received in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1989, 1991 and 1995. The 1989 and 1991 instalments were donated under the Taxation Incentives for the Arts Scheme.
