Component identifier:

Series 6

Content Summary:

This series consists mainly of a numbered set of scrapbooks in which Wannan compiled material in chronological order, either by date of subject or date of publication. Filed between the pages of the scrapbooks are cuttings, letters, publications (some quite rare), photocopies, notes, manila files, drafts of Wannan's writings etc. Topics include Australian art, history, folklore, politics and crime. Scrapbooks number 19, 22 and 23 were not received with the collection. Items 22-24 are not part of the chronological sequence but are scrapbooks compiled by Wannan in a similar way.

Immediate source of acquisition:

Wannan's papers were donated to the Library in 2003 by his daughter and son-in-law, Paula and Roger Hyland. A collection of 49 books by Bill Wannan were purchased from Wannan's estate and can be found in Series 3.
