Central Australia: Working Files (1979-86)

Component identifier:

Series 3

Content Summary:

This series consists of most of Toyne's working files during his years in Central Australia, in particular from the period 1979-1986. The files contain correspondence, reports, articles, pamphlets, newspaper clippings, resource development agreements and acts of parliament.

The files in this sequence were not added to after Toyne left Alice Springs in 1986. Those Central Australian files that continued to be added to and used till 1993-94 are located in Series 6. So, for example, the majority of the Uluru files are in this series but those that continued to be added to and used up to the writing of The reluctant nation (1994) are located in Series 6.

Immediate source of acquisition:

This collection was donated by Toyne in four instalments, on 20-21 October 1994, 3 November 1994 and 29 January 1997. It contains a wide variety of materials, including diaries and notebooks, working and reference files, photographs, slides, tape and video recordings.
