Component identifier:

Series 14

Content Summary:

Epstein met the teacher Rosalie McCutcheon in 1941 when she started work at Frensham School, Mittagong. When McCutcheon died in 1992, at the urging of a number of McCutcheon's friends, Epstein agreed to undertake the writing of her memoir.

After determining the costs involved in publication and distribution of the book, it was decided to raise funds for the project by seeking donations. A committee was established to deal with administration and to set up a trust account. Those supporting the project included Professor Charles Birch, Rev. Frank Engel and Rev. John Garrett.

Epstein's book, Rosalie McCutcheon: a memoir, was published by Henley Beach, South Australia in 1993.

Included in this series is correspondence (mainly research for the book), research papers, edited typescripts and proofs of the book and papers relating to financial arrangements for the project, including a list of donations received. There are also family slides, photographs and papers relating to McCutcheon, which include birth, death and marriage certificates and a family tree.

Note: Rosalie McCutcheon's papers are at MS 9380
