Component identifier:
Series 4
Content Summary:

O'Farrell's first published book was a political biography of Henry Edmund Holland (1868-1933) and his part in the labour movement in Australia and New Zealand. Holland was leader of the New Zealand Parliamentary Labour Party from 1919 to 1933. The work was originally written in the History Department of the Australian National University.

This series includes research notes based on a variety of sources including copies of the records of the New Zealand Labour Party,* official Labour movement documents, newspaper articles, the Holland Papers held at the Australian National University, pamphlets, books and unpublished theses.

The series also contains correspondence relating to O'Farrell's research on Holland, including original correspondence with the Holland Family. Correspondents represented include Roy Holland, Eileen Simpson, Jim B. Kent, and Walter Nash.

For material pertaining to the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.) refer to Series 16.

The Files 'General election, 1938', 'Holland correspondence 1930', 'Holland correspondence 1933' were empty and therefore discarded.

*Note: these are the only extant records of the New Zealand Labour Party as the originals were subsequently accidentally destroyed. NZLP records are noted as such in the list.
