Component identifier:

Series 23

Content Summary:

The Commonwealth Institute of Valuers was established in 1926 and its name was changed to the Australian Institute of Valuers in 1976. Else-Mitchell was not a member of the Institute, but he had a long interest in many aspects of valuation, especially land valuation, and attended some meetings of the Institute. The series contains correspondence, conference papers, notes, annual reports and newsletters. Correspondents include B.V. Raison, John Worthington and John Horrigan.

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.
