Series 2

Content Summary:

This series comprises Feith's extensive correspondence with academics, Indonesianists, peace activists and friends in Indonesia. There are several files of correspondence relating to Feith's involvement in the formation of the Volunteer Graduate Scheme (VGS), including with Oliver McMichael (files 126-132).

The bulk of the correspondence was maintained by Feith in alphabetical order, by name of correspondent. However, for the years 1996-1997 Feith filed his correspondence chronologically and within that arrangement, alphabetically (files 100-106). There were a number of items of unfiled correspondence found throughout the collection, as well as files of unsorted correspondence. This correspondence has been listed chronologically (files 107-125).
