Centre for Research on Federal Financial Relations, 1972-95

 
Component identifier:
Series 24
Content Summary:

The Centre for Research on Federal Financial Relations at the Australian National University was set up in 1972. Its aims were to carry out research into financial and economic analysis of Australia and other federal systems, the criteria for the allocation of resources between governments, and the impact of the federal financial system on major functional areas of government. The Centre had an active publishing program, producing about 18 publications per annum. Else-Mitchell was a member of the Research Advisory Committee from 1972 onwards and chaired the Committee for a number of years.

The series comprises correspondence, annual reports, reports of the Director, minutes of the Research Advisory Committee and seminar papers. The correspondents include Professor Russell Mathews, Professor Geoffrey Brennan and Professor Cliff Walsh.

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.
