Reference material: cuttings, 1938-2000 (bulk 1991-2000)

Component identifier:

Series 12

Content Summary:

This series is a compilation of press clippings removed from four alphabetic concertina files and from manila files which Wannan had arranged alphabetically by subject. The clippings have been amalgamated by the Library into a single alphabetical sequence. Additional loose unsorted cuttings have been placed in files and added to the end of the series. The earlier cuttings include reviews of Wannan's publications, whilst the later cuttings reflect Wannan's general interests in social, political, religious, historical and medical issues in addition to folklore topics. Hand- and type-written notes and publications in the manila files of cuttings have been left in place. Press clippings also appear in most of the other series, in particular the correspondence (Series 2), scrapbooks (Series 6), and persons and subject files (Series 7 and 8). Correspondence from the concertina files and amongst the loose cuttings has been transferred to Series 2, Correspondence, File 13.

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:
