Reference material: notes for dictionary entries

Component identifier:

Series 11

Content Summary:

This series consists of notes on persons, slang terms, place names etc which were received loose in the collection. Some of the material appears in Australian folklore : a dictionary of lore, legends and popular allusions (1970) and Wannan may have used them in the preparation of other publications. Many of the notes have cuttings, letters or notes attached, are annotated with references or are cross-referenced to other terms. The notes have been arranged in rough alphabetic order by the Library. Similar notes are contained in the scrapbooks (Series 6) and amongst other papers where Wannan filed them.

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.

Names:

Wannan, Bill, 1915-2003
