- Content Summary:
- The Federation was formed in 1977, with delegates from historical societies in every State and also the ACT and the Northern Territory. Else-Mitchell was the first President and held office until 1986. The series contains correspondence, reports, conference proceedings, lectures and newsletters. There are also some earlier papers documenting Else-Mitchell's association with historical societies outside New South Wales. The correspondents include Nan Phillips, E.M.

- 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.
