Component identifier:
Series 1
Content Summary:

This series comprises personal and family documents of Ulm and his family including correspondence, photographs, photocopies of birth certificates, obituaries and family history information.

The series also contains ephemera in the form of menus from tributes given in honour of Ulm in 1928 and 1929. The 1928 also honours Kingsford Smith and both men have autographed the back of the menu.

Immediate source of acquisition:
The collection has dual provenance. It consists of papers collected by Charles Ulm, and also items collected about Ulm by his son, John, which have been kept together because of the interrelated nature of their creation. The original instalment was donated to the Library by John Ulm in June 2003 in conjunction with an exhibition held at the National Library of Australia to mark the 75th Anniversary of his father's 1928 Trans-Pacific flight.
