Component identifier:

Series 21

Content Summary:

The New South Wales Regional Group of the Royal Institute of Public Administration was formed in 1935. In 1980 the Australian groups separated from the British organisation to form the Australian Institute of Public Administration. The name was changed to the Royal Australian Institute of Public Administration in 1982. Else-Mitchell had a long association with the Institute and was National President from 1981 to 1986. He was made a Fellow of the Institute in November 1983. The series consists of correspondence, minutes, agenda papers, reports, conference papers, circulars and publications.

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.
