This includes copies of old Wills, notes regarding Byrne's Will, instructions and some correspondence with solicitors, a legal document and a Byrne's Passport. Byrne approached a publishing firm, after displaying his work in Penrith and at the Blaxland gallery, in an attempt to sell his life story and get some funds for his work. The company proposed that he transfer his works created after 1970 into a trust set up and administered by the company.
