Component identifier:

Series 22

Content Summary:

The Australian Institute of Urban Studies was founded in 1967 on the initiative of the Australian Planning Institute and the Social Science Research Council. Its aims were to promote research into urban affairs and organise training and conferences. Else-Mitchell was a foundation member and was President in 1986-88.

The series contains agenda papers, minutes of meetings, correspondence, annual reports and research papers. The correspondents include Derek Cartwright, Patrick Troy, R.J. Solomon, L. Hawkins, P.D. Day and R.J. Stimson.

The records of the Institute are also held in the National Library (MS 7594).

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.
