Correspondence, 1912-1998 (bulk 1960-1992)

Component identifier:

Series 1

Content Summary:

This series comprises letters and cards to Lockwood, largely for the period from the 1960s to his later years in hospitals and nursing homes. Whilst there is also a strong presence in the collection of Lockwood's letters to family members, generally he did not retain copies of his own correspondence to others. Major correspondents include Lockwood's siblings, children and grandchildren, Ken Gott, Rowan Cahill, Tim Bowden, Irina Golovnya, Katherine Prentice, Tas Bull, Ron Maxwell, Douglas Wilkie, David McKnight, Vic Bird, Russel Ward, Helen Palmer, Judah Waten, Jo Hawke, Veronica English, Bernice Morris and Paul Stenhouse. In addition there is correspondence with publishers, Waterside Workers Federation office bearers, Maritime Worker readers and contributors, and union colleagues. Due to Lockwood's habit of filing a range of material together, correspondence can be found throughout the collection. Likewise, papers other than correspondence are scattered throughout this series.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers of Rupert Lockwood were received in eleven instalments between 1997 and 2011 from Lockwood's daughter, Penny Lockwood.
