Content Summary:

These cuttings were originally in one box. Includes

, October 1962; 1965 letter to Mrs Meale from the World Record Club requesting a photograph of Richard Meale; 1962 letter to Richard Meale from the Composers' Guild of Great Britain; full copies of The Australian and The Advertiser for 22 March 1974.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The majority of the records appear to have been created or collected by Richard Meale. The papers were transferred to the Library in six accessions (instalments) throughout 2004, with three transferred directly from Meale. The remaining three were transferred by associates and friends of Meale - two former students and Meale's former agent, Barbara Mobbs. It does not appear that any of these custodians rearranged or added to the records during their period of custodianship. The papers from Barbara Mobbs comprise letters from Patrick White to Meale. They were received at the same time as another collection MS 10106, which also relates to Richard Meale. All six accessions were acquired from Meale in 2004. Further papers were transferred by Amanda Meale in 2010.
