Content Summary:

Osmond kept numerous notebooks throughout his career as a journalist. These notebooks document the stories he worked on and provide information about the people he met and the places he visited. The notebooks contain a wide range of information, including addresses, phone numbers, quotes and ideas for articles, interview notes and travel details. There are also notes about local and international events that attracted media coverage.

The series also contains a small number of notebooks relating to the period that Osmond spent at the University of Pennsylvania as a Fulbright Fellow. There are two personal journals spanning 1973-1974 and one journal that he kept while travelling around Australia during 1969.

A small number of additional notebooks can be found in Series 5 and Series 12.

Immediate source of acquisition:
The papers were bequeathed to the Library by Warren Osmond and transferred by his partner Juliet Richter in two instalments in December 2000 and August 2001, with the assistance of Cassandra Pybus.
