Newspaper Cuttings on Canberra Planning, 1964-90

Component identifier:

Series 18

Content Summary:

Peter Harrison accumulated a large reference set of Canberra-related newspaper clippings that he considered relevant to his planning interests. Most of these clippings were originally stored in binders. They cover a range of subjects including land use, housing, office development, planning administration and other issues. There are a few clippings on more general planning matters at the end of the series. While the great majority of the cuttings are from The Canberra Times; there are a few from other newspapers including The Canberra News, Courier, The Australian and the Sydney Morning Herald. Harrison occasionally filed other reference documents and magazine articles amongst the cuttings.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers were donated to the Library by Sheila Harrison in 1991. Small additions were made by Mrs Harrison in 1996 and by Ed Wensing in 1997.
