Social and political papers, 1956-1987

Component identifier:

Series 5

Content Summary:

The papers in these files are quite diverse in both form and content. In addition to manuscript, typescript and printed copies of some of Armstrong's addresses and speeches, there are letters, reports, petitions, circulars, newspaper cuttings and issues of student newspapers. Some of the files relate to a particular talk, while others deal with organisations or activities extending over a period. Examples of the latter are the files on the Sydney University Association for Cultural Freedom, the 1971 Vietnam Moratorium and the 1976 Latvian protest.

The correspondents include W.H.C. Eddy, Nicholas Farnham, Gerard Henderson, Eugene Kamenka, J. van der Kroef, Lia Looveer, Bruce Mansfield and Vu Van Hieu.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers were donated by Professor Armstrong to the National Library under the Taxation Incentives for the Arts Scheme in 1992. Further papers were added in 1999, 2001 and 2012.
