The main part of the collection was lent for copying by H.B.S. (Jo) Gullett of Lambrigg, Tharwa, A.C.T. in March 1972. It comprised correspondence and papers relating to his maternal grandmother, Lady Headley, and his father, mother and himself. In July 1974 Mrs P. Hackforth-Jones of Paddington, Sydney (Mr Gullett's sister) added to the collection photocopies of letters written by W.M. Hughes to his father and mother. A final consignment of papers relating to the Imperial Economic Conference (series 7) was purchased by the Library from a book dealer in June 1987. Further papers were received in 2013.
