Immediate source of acquisition:

The first consignment of these papers was received by the Library in 1972, and was originally accessioned at MS 3039. This consisted of a 1966 lecture and a research proposal. The second consignment was deposited in the ANU Archives of Business and Labour in 1968 while Kelly was attached to the ANU Department of Economic History. It was transferred to the National Library's custody in 1990. The ANU's deposit number was P49. The third consignment was received after Kelly's death in 1983 and included many papers previously removed by Kelly from the ANU Archives for further use. This guide now incorporates all consignments of Kelly's papers.
