Content Summary:

The Fellowship of Australian Writers was founded in 1928; its headquarters are in Sydney and there are branches in all States. The small subseries contains notices and circulars of the F.A.W. dating from 1952 until 1972; the circulars are almost complete for the years 1959 to 1970. A small number of letters written to Hardy before the Writers' Workshop of 1969, together with drafts and typescripts of his address on behalf of the Fellowship to the Soviet Writers' Union delegates in 1960 complete the collection.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers of the writer Frank Hardy were purchased by the Library in seven consignments between 1975 and 1988.
