Abstract Or Scope
Correspondence, diaries, manuscripts, speeches, newscuttings, photographs and official papers, mostly dating from the late 1920s to 1952. The bulk of the collection covers the last 25 years of MacDonald's life, when he was a Director of two State galleries, an art critic and protagonist in various disputes about modern painting. He was a prolific writer of essays, notes and lists and the notebooks form the largest category in the collection. There are a few papers relating to the Commonwealth Art Advisory Board and the National Art Gallery of New South Wales and more extensive papers on the National Gallery of Victoria. A few diaries have survived and also several files of personal correspondence.
